The indiscriminate denunciation of the rich is mischievous… No poor man was ever made richer or happier by it. It is quite as illogical to despise a man because he is rich as because he is poor. Not what a man has, but what he is, settles his class. We cannot right matters by taking from one what he has honestly acquired to be bestowed on another what he has not earned. President Benjamin Harrison. 23rd President of the United States. (1833-1901)
