“John F. Kennedy told the nation, “Ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country.” FDR assured a worried nation, “The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.” Now we can add Donald Trump’s line, “How stupid are the people of Iowa?”

“Less than one-hundredth of the total enterprises utilise more than three-fourths of the steam and electric power! Two million nine hundred and seventy thousand small enterprises (employing up to five workers), representing 91 per cent of the total, utilise only 7 per cent of the steam and electric power. Tens of thousands of large-scale enterprises are everything; millions of small ones are nothing.”
― Vladimir Lenin, Imperialism, the Highest Stage of Capitalism
