". . .our very democracy so long presupposed that each citizen should care for himself that we are slow to develop a sense of social obligation."
Jane Addams
"Man has always sought the mastery of his fellow-man. To enslave his fellow in some form and to live out of his labor has been the mainspring of human action. . . . In all the ages of the past, human society has been organized and maintained upon the basis of the exploitation and degradation of those who toil. And so it is today. The chief end of government has been and is to keep the victims of oppression and injustice in subjection."
Eugene V. Debs
"I believe in a larger use of the governmental power to help remedy industrial wrongs . . . ."
Theodore Roosevelt
