When the rich give charity to the poor, it's well publicized. But the charity of the poor to the rich is anonymous. The rich give the poor a little food, drink, shelter, clothes. The poor have given the rich palaces and yachts, almost infinite freedom to indulge their doubtful taste for display.
– Gilbert Seldes "Against Revolution"
