"Socialism never took root in America because the poor see themselves not as an exploited proletariat, but as temporarily embarrassed millionaires."

John Steinbeck (via miketodd07, thirdworldgirl- )

So true. Too many people suffer from the delusion that one day they’re going to be wealthy and thus oppose taxing the wealthy even though they would benefit from the increase in social services these taxes could provide.
