“The only thing new in the world is the history you do not know.” Harry Truman

“There are ninety and nine who live and die
In want hunger and cold
That one may live in luxury
And be wrapped in a silken fold
The ninety and nine in hovels bare
The one in a palace with riches rare
And the one owns cities and houses and lands
And the ninety and nine have empty hands.”

-Farmers Alliance, 1889
