Quotation from: War of the Classes

Written by: Jack London


There are non-scabs, but they are usually born so, and are protected
by the whole might of society in the possession of their food and
shelter. King Edward is such a type, as are all individuals who
receive hereditary food-and-shelter privileges,--such as the present
Duke of Bedford, for instance, who yearly receives $75,000 from the
good people of London because some former king gave some former
ancestor of his the market privileges of Covent Garden. The
irresponsible rich are likewise non-scabs,--and by them is meant
that coupon-clipping class which hires its managers and brains to
invest the money usually left it by its ancestors.
