“Rational people, anti-religionists, must end their timidity and come out of the closet and assert themselves. And those who consider themselves only moderately religious really need to look in the mirror and realize that the solace and comfort that religion brings you actually comes at a terrible price”
― Bill Maher

“That’s essentially neoliberalism. It has this dual character, which goes right back in economic history. One set of rules for the rich. Opposite set of rules for the poor.”
― Noam Chomsky, Requiem for the American Dream: The 10 Principles of Concentration of Wealth & Power

“A major reason for the concentrated, almost fanatic attack on unions and organized labor is they are a democratizing force. They provide a barrier that defends workers’ rights, but also popular rights generally. That interferes with the prerogatives and power of those who own and manage the society.”
― Noam Chomsky, Requiem for the American Dream: The 10 Principles of Concentration of Wealth & Power

“By now, less than 7 percent of private sector workers have unions, and it’s not because workers don’t want unions—polls show that, overwhelmingly, they want to unionize—but they can’t.”
― Noam Chomsky, Requiem for the American Dream: The 10 Principles of Concentration of Wealth & Power

“If you take the Fourteenth Amendment literally, then no undocumented alien can be deprived of rights if they’re a person. Well, the courts, in their wisdom over the years, have carved that away and said they’re not persons. Undocumented aliens who are living here and building your buildings, cleaning your lawns, and so on, they’re not persons, but General Electric is a person, an immortal, super powerful person.”
― Noam Chomsky, Requiem for the American Dream: The 10 Principles of Concentration of Wealth & Power
