Some words from a prominent American on the day we learn that 62 people in the world hold as much wealth as half the population on Earth:
"We must develop programs that will drive the nation to the realization... that our Declaration of Independence must be taken seriously: 'We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, and among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.'
"Capitalism fails to realize that life is social. Marxism fails to realize that life is individual. Truth is found neither in the rugged individualism of capitalism nor in the impersonal collectivism of Communism. The kingdom of God is found in a synthesis that combines the truths of these two opposites."
—Martin Luther King, Jr., November 14, 1966
