"The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much; it is whether we provide enough for those who have too little.”FDR

[Downtown Shocker Brown]

Property is surely a right of mankind as real as liberty. Perhaps, at first, prejudice, habit, shame or fear, principle or religion, would restrain the poor from attacking the rich, and the idle from usurping on the industrious; but the time would not be long before courage and enterprise would come, and pretexts be invented by degrees, to countenance the majority in dividing all the property among them, or at least, in sharing it equally with its present possessors. Debts would be abolished first; taxes laid heavy on the rich, and not at all on others; and at last a downright equal division of every thing be demanded, and voted. What would be the consequence of this? The idle, the vicious, the intemperate, would rush into the utmost extravagance of debauchery, sell and spend all their share, and then demand a new division of those who purchased from them. The moment the idea is admitted into society, that property is not as sacred as the laws of God, and that there is not a force of law and public justice to protect it, anarchy and tyranny commence.…

"The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much; it is whether we provide enough for those who have too little.”FDR

And by "We" he meant the State. That all sounds good in theory until you realize the force and theft of property required to make that happen.

"From each according to his abilities, to each according to his needs." - Karl Marx

"All mankind... being all equal and independent, no one ought to harm another in his life, health, liberty or possessions."

John Locke
