Chapter IX
MY DEAR JUDD: You read about the rich growing richer and the poor poorer, and you wonder why the poor have stood it. Why didn’t they “do something.” The answer is, they tried to, but the rich wouldn’t let them. It is of the nature of wealth to be powerful, and to use its power to protect and perpetuate itself. Jesus said: “Whosoever hath, to him shall be given; and whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he seemeth to have.”
