change. It takes
everything and gives nothing.
Capital is the milk and Finance
is the Sponge.
If the splendid men and women who are the followers of Marx will carefully read the book, “Direct Credits for Everybody,” they will realize that we are teaching Economics as-is today instead of as-was fifty years ago. At present Finance is swallowing Capital and crushing Labor. So, unless Capital and Labor combine at once as outlined by “Direct Credits for Everybody” they are both in for an unmerciful licking. Is there any good reason why under Direct Credits Laws the people should pay rent to landlords?

ANSWER:Yes, there is a very good reason. There are two kinds of people—one who wants to own their own homes and stay in one locality and one who does not want to own their own homes and be tied down to one locality. The landlord is a blessing to those who want to move about from place to place and do not want to take the responsibility of owning and caring for real property. If the landlord is willing to give his time, skill and effort in building and caring for homes for travelers, then he is entitled to a just reward for his work in doing so. He therefore is paid for his work in the shape of rents. Direct Credits stands for justice for everybody and that means landlords, too. ![]() |
