What is by nature the common birthright of all,
we have made the exclusive property of individuals;
what is by natural law the common fund,
from which common wants should be met,
we give to a few that they may lord it over their fellows.
And so some are gorged while some go hungry,
and more is wasted than would suffice to keep all in luxury.
Henry George (The Irish Land Question)
