Excerpt from Where You Get Off

How do you do, Average American Workingman!
Your actions show that you don't know where you get off.
So, prick up your ears and give heed, for I'm going to tell you.

I shall also tell you where you get on.
First of all, I want you to realize the situation as it is.
There are many people who imagine that things must be thus and so, just because they have been that way.

But that is a mistake.

There are also many people who subscribe to the theory, suggested by Shakespeare's Hamlet in his famous soliloquy, that it is better to bear those ills we have than fly to others that we know not of.

Kindly remember that Hamlet was damaged in his upper story. And even he did not advocate this theory, but merely suggested it.

Those who subscribe to this theory are cursed with lurid imaginations. They conjure up all kinds of unreal ills which they imagine they would incur if they attempted to remedy the ills by which they are now surrounded.

But the sensible thing to do is to abolish the evils.

Looking For A Job

One of the most debasing evils now existing is the fact that when a workingman wants a job he has to ask a capitalist, or the representative of a capitalist, for it.
