uals are taught to skin one another instead of aiding each other to utilize everything without the loss of anything for the benefit of everybody. So they waste almost everything through their infernal skinning pro­cess.
 Nature is able and willing to produce and does produce for man’s consumption an over­a­bun­dance of food.
 Does man utilize that overabundance of food to feed every man, woman and child?
 No, he permits a few big cheats to get control of the food supply, destroy part of it and sell what is left for high prices, which makes it impossible for many people to purchase food and thereby forces part of the people to go hungry and he calls that Economics.
 According to that kind of tomfoolery, he forces half-wits to believe that if food is plentiful and can be bought at low prices so that everybody can have enough to eat that times are bad and that the only way to make them good is to destroy part of it and raise the prices so everybody cannot have enough to eat.
 In other words, if there is too much food to eat, then the people should go hungry.
 According to such nonsense taught by our present economic lunatics, if there were any way that water or air could be destroyed so as to raise the prices for it the people could then be made to live like fish out of water.

 “The financier took good care that the world should not learn that there was a difference, because it enabled him to masquerade under the name of Capitalist, squeeze the life out of Capital, and finally force Cap­i­tal­ism to stand for all of the odium that rightfully belonged to Financialism.
 “But unless the world suddenly wakes up and learns that there is a difference between Capital and Finance it will find out when too late, and to its sorrow, that Capitalism has been made the goat, and that it was literally torn asunder and made extinct through the undermining and double crossing of finan­ciers.”
 As I wrote in DIRECT CREDITS FOR EVERY­BODY: “There is just as much difference between Capital and Finance as there is between milk and a sponge. Finance is a vacuum that absorbs wealth through a fraudulent medium of exchange. It takes everything and gives nothing.”
Unless the business man learns these
