"The whole gospel of Karl Marx can be summed up in a single sentence: Hate the
man who is better off than you are. Never under any circumstances admit that
his success may be due to his own efforts, to the productive contribution he
has made to the whole community. Always attribute his success to the
exploitation, the cheating, the more or less open robbery of others. Never
under any circumstances admit that your own failure may be owing to your own
weakness, or that the failure of anyone else may be due to his own defects -
his laziness, incompetence, improvidence, or stupidity."
-- Henry Hazlitt
(1894-1993) American economist, philosopher,literary critic and journalist
