And here's a great quote by FDR from his speech where he introduced the minimum wage (which was always meant to be a living wage):

>**“No business which depends for existence on paying less than living wages to its workers has any right to continue in this country. By workers I mean all workers, and by living wages I mean more than a bare subsistence level — I mean the wages of decent living." - Franklin Delano Roosevelt**

Here's a good quote about poverty:

>**"The cause of poverty is not that we're unable to satisfy the needs of the poor, it's that we're unable to satisfy the greed of the rich" - Anonymous**

Here's an interesting one:

>**"A century ago, scarcity had to be endured; now scarcity must be enforced" - Murray Bookchin**

And this next quote is probably my favorite, I think it really sums everything up and it's so powerful when you take a minute to mull it over:

>**If machines produce everything we need, the outcome will depend on how things are distributed. Everyone can enjoy a life of luxurious leisure if the machine-produced wealth is shared, or most people can end up miserably poor if the machine-owners successfully lobby against wealth redistribution. So far, the trend seems to be toward the second option, with technology driving ever-increasing inequality. - Stephen Hawking**
