“Labor is prior to and independent of capital. Capital is only the fruit of labor, and could never have existed if labor had not first existed. Labor is the superior of capital, and deserves much the higher consideration.”

The words of Abraham Lincoln, according to this piece:

Thanks for posting the article, pachyderm. Sort of an adjunct to this quote:

"The "trickle-down" theory: the principle that the poor, who must subsist on table scraps dropped by the rich, can best be served by giving the rich bigger meals." ~William Blum
Thanks for this!
