The remarks of Elizabeth Warren, made last year,who is running for the Office of Senator for Massachusetts, seem especially appropriate for Labor Day 2012.
"There is nobody in this country who got rich on his own-nobody !" she said. "You built a factory out there? Good for you. But I want to be clear: You moved your goods to market on the roads the rest of us paid for; you hired workers the rest of us paid to educate; you all were safe in your factory because of police forces and fire forces that the rest of us paid for...
"You built a factory, and it turned into something terrific or a great idea? God bless. Keep a big hunk of it. But part of the underlying social contract is, you take a hunk of that and pay forward for the next next kid who comes along."
