Saul Alinsky on Welfare & Poverty

 

 


Wealth should be distributed more evenly

I will argue that the failure to use power for a more equitable distribution of the means of life for all people signals the end of the revolution and the start of the counterrevolution.

Either share part of our material wealth, or lose all of it

The fact is that it is not man's "better nature" but his self-interest that demands that he be his brother's keeper. He is beginning to learn that he will either share part of his material wealth or lose all of it.
