Vive la revolution! .....Quotes from British MP Tony Benn:
“Choice depends on the freedom to choose and if you are shackled with debt you don’t have the freedom to choose.”

“If we can find money to kill people, we can find money to help people.”

“An educated, healthy and confident nation is harder to govern.”

“I think there are two ways in which people are controlled. First of all frighten people and secondly, demoralize them.”

“People in debt become hopeless and hopeless people don’t vote. They always say that that everyone should vote but I think that if the poor in Britain or the United States turned out and voted for people that represented their interests there would be a real democratic revolution.”



....These quotes are from Michael Moore's "Sicko"
