"Labour is ... not the only source..." - Quote by Karl Marx

“The ruling ideas of each age have ever been the ideas of its ruling class.”

“A man cannot become a child again, or he becomes childish.”

“Value, therefore, does not stalk about with a label describing what it is.”

“The birds sang, the proles sang. the Party did not sing. All round the world, in London and New York, in Africa and Brazil, and in the mysterious, forbidden lands beyond the frontiers, in the streets of Paris and Berlin, in the villages of the endless Russian plain, in the bazaars of China and Japan — everywhere stood the same solid unconquerable figure, made monstrous by work and childbearing, toiling from birth to death and still singing.”

“I do not regard capital to be the enemy of labour.”

“Taxes are paid in the sweat of every man who labors. If those taxes are excessive, they are reflected in idle factories, in tax-sold farms, and in hordes of hungry people, tramping the streets and seeking jobs in vain. Our workers may never see a tax bill, but they pay. They pay in deductions from wages, in increased cost of what they buy, or - as now - in broad unemployment throughout the land.”

“If someone hands you a million dollars, best you become a millionaire, or you won't get to keep the money.”

“In this great country, we celebrate success. We don't want to penalize those who have done well.”

“What does 'economic justice' mean, except that you want something that someone else produced, without having to produce anything yourself in return?”
