"Between the strong and the weak, between the rich and the poor, between the master and the servant, it is liberty which oppresses and law that frees."

"Zwischen den Starken und den Schwachen, zwischen den Reichen und den Armen, zwischen dem Herrn und dem Diener, ist es Freiheit welche Unterdrückt und Gesetze die Befreien."

"Entre le fort et le faible, entre le riche et le pauvre, entre le maître et le serviteur, c'est la liberté qui opprime et la loi qui libère."

— Henri Lacordaire (1802-1861), in 52e Conférence de Notre-Dame, 1848.—

"profits of doom - globalisation generates colossal sums, ...

isn't it time the west's middle classes asked why they're footing the bill for everyone else's gains?"

“Unacceptable tax avoidance typically involved the creation of complex artificial structures by which, as though by the wave of a magic wand, the tax payer conjures out of the air a loss, or a gain, or expenditure, or whatever it may be, which otherwise would never have existed. These structures are designed to achieve an adventitious tax benefit for the taxpayer, and in truth are no more than raids on the public funds at the expense of the general body of taxpayers, and as such are unacceptable.”
