Only a person who fears retribution for thinking like that could have made that list.

Slaves will rise up, and so will workers.

The wealthy and their well-paid hangers-on will always fear what they themselves have created.

That list was originally thought up by William Boetcker, a “motivational speaker” from 100 years ago who apparently made a bunch of money by going around telling the very rich not to feel guilty about not sharing their wealth.

His “Troofs” mistakenly got attributed to Lincoln in a pamphlet, and misquoted by Ronald Reagan.
