[QUOTE="Forgalspop, post: 3558580, member: 46636"] "In progressive societies the concentration [of wealth] may reach a point where the strength of number in the many poor rivals the strength of ability in the few rich; then the unstable equilibrium generates a critical situation, which history has diversely met by legislation redistributing wealth or by revolution distributing poverty." [B]Will Durant[/B] “A great civilization is not conquered from without, until it has destroyed itself from within. The essential causes of Rome's decline lay in her people, her morals, her class struggle, her failing trade, her bureaucratic despotism, her stifling taxes, her consuming wars.” [B]Will Durant[/B] "The political machine triumphs because it is a united minority acting against a divided majority." [B] Will Durant[/B] “The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is able to think things out ... without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos. Almost inevitably he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest, insane - intolerable.[B] “ H. L. Mencken[/B] [/QUOTE]
