Lies our forefathers told - R.B. Bennett





"Capitalism is your servant, and must never be your master, but Capitalism should be treated fairly. When it goes wrong, as it has gone wrong, it must be corrected; and when it goes right, might it not be applauded? ... We will get nowhere by recklessly & stupidly clouting capitalism into a paralysis of ineffectiveness. ... treat capitalism decently, not for its own sake but for your own sake, for it can serve you well. Make it work, and make it work hard for you. Get all you are entitled to out of it; that is far more sensible than shooting it dead." - Prime Minister R.B. Bennett - September 11, 1935

Don't know about you - but I'd rather shoot it dead!
