About this Quote

This quote by Will Rogers talks to the suggestion of the division of labor in the United States. It recommends that one-third of the population is responsible for promoting and also advancing the country, while the other two-thirds are in charge of supplying the required resources and labor to make it occur. This might be taken a discourse on the unequal circulation of power and resources in the United States, with a small minority of people having the capacity to choose and also shape the nation, while most of people are entrusted to do the job. It could also be viewed as a contact us to activity for those in the two-thirds to take a much more active function in the promotion of the nation, and also to ensure that their voices are listened to. Inevitably, this quote talks to the importance of identifying the payments of all individuals in the United States, as well as the demand for everyone to collaborate to guarantee the nation's success.
