Poverty
Capitalism is the unequal distribution of wealth; communism is the equal distribution of poverty.

I complained that I had no shoes
Until I met a man who had no feet.

I have nothing, owe a great deal, and the rest I leave to the poor.
Je n'ai rien vaillant; je dois beaucoup; je donne le reste aux pauvres.
François Rabelais (1494-1553)
In its majestic equality, the law forbids rich and poor alike to sleep under bridges, beg in the streets and steal loaves of bread.
La majestueuse égalité des lois, qui interdit au riche comme au pauvre de coucher sous les ponts, de mendier dans les rues et de voler du pain.
Anatole France (1844-1924)
The conviction of the rich that the poor are happier is no more foolish than the conviction of the poor that the rich are.
Mark Twain (1835-1910)
There is no such thing as a free lunch, but there is always free cheese in a mousetrap.
