William Henry Chamberlin Quotes

• La hambruna fue empleada deliberadamente como un instrumento de política nacional, como el último medio de romper la resistencia del campesinado al nuevo sistema en el que están divorciados de la propiedad personal de la tierra y obligados a trabajar en las condiciones que el Estado pueda exigirles.... Esta hambruna puede calificarse con justicia de política porque no fue el resultado de ninguna catástrofe natural abrumadora ni del agotamiento tan completo de los recursos del país en guerras extranjeras y civiles.

• A very good case can be made, on moral as well as economic grounds, for a system in which the individual is required to stand on his own feet, not to lean on the state for handouts. Character, resourcefulness, capacity are formed and developed in struggle with obstacles, not in waiting passively for benefits from outside.

• The proliferation of bureaucrats and its invariable accompaniment, much heavier tax levies on the productive part of the population, are the recognizable signs, not of a great, but of a decaying society. Historians know that both phenomena were especially marked in the declining eras of the Roman Empire in the West and of its successor state, the Eastern or Byzantine Empire.

• One of the most insidious consequences of the present burden of personal income tax is that it strips many middle class families of financial reserves & seems to lend support to campaigns for socialized medicine, socialized housing, socialized food, socialized every thing. The personal income tax has made the individual vastly more dependent on the State & more avid for state hand-outs. It has shifted the balance in America from an individual-centered to a State-centered economic & social system.
