  1. A quotation from Molly Ivins

       Seems to me it’s a simple concept — the concentration of wealth is a Bad Idea. Since capital tends to concentrate, it is one of the functions of government to oppose this tendency. That’s why we used to have antimonopoly laws and the like.
       When you see government encouraging the concentration of wealth, check your wallet.

    Molly Ivins (1944-2007) American writer, political columnist [Mary Tyler Ivins]
    Essay (1991-02), “Season of Drear,” The Progressive

  2. A quotation from Bernard Levin

    You don’t need to be a genius or a sage to realise — realise, not know, let alone work out — that there is no easy path to great wealth (or to anything useful) because if there were, the poor would be in a very small minority, and everybody else would be stinking rich.

    Bernard Levin (1928-2004) British journalist, critic, broadcaster, satirist
    Essay (1989-03-23), “Do You Seriously Want to Be Swindled?” The Times, London
