More quotes by William Greider

William Greider
The rich nations of the world are acting like ancient usurers, lending money to the desperate poor on terms that cannot possibly be met and, thus, steadily acquiring more and more control over the lives and assets of the poor.
William Greider
The ways in which people treat animals will be reflected in how people relate to one another.

William Greider
Obviously, people with low or even moderate incomes could not afford such savings rates, and even diligent savings from their low wages would not be enough to pay for either retirement or healthcare.
William Greider
In 1900 Americans on average lived for only 49 years and most working people died still on the job.
William Greider
People know elections, like television commercials, are not real.
William Greider
If everyone has to be a watchdog in order to make government work, then the foxes will also volunteer to serve.
William Greider
The do-it-yourself version of pensions is a flop, as many Americans have painfully learned.
William Greider
The present struggle seems less about abolishing big government than about who gets to use it.
William Greider
Aside from sending someone to war or to prison, government s ability to make people involuntarily give over their money is its strongest exercise of authority over private citizens and their institutions.
William Greider
Everyone's values are defined by what they will tolerate when it is done to others.
William Greider
The scandalous question that hangs over modern government and excites perpetual outrage is about political money and what it buys. What exactly do these contributors get in return for the hundreds of thousands, even millions of dollars they funnel to the politicians?
