Bully times, ain’t it? Want to vote the old monopolist tickets some more, don’t ye? Got it in the neck, eh? Good. Swear you like it. Greatest country on earth, eh?

It is better to give work and let the hungry buy their own food. It is best to see that all have opportunity to work so that none may be dependent on the charity of others.
