Property will be secure when one person's wealth visibly benefits the general mass
Drawn from what Thomas Paine said
What Thomas Paine actually said
- Thomas Paine Pamphleteer and revolutionary (1737 to 1809)
When the riches of one man above another shall increase the national fund in the same proportion; when it shall be seen that the prosperity of that fund depends on the prosperity of individuals; when the more riches a man acquires, the better it shall be for the general mass; it is then that antipathies will cease, and property be placed on the permanent basis of national interest and protection.
