About this Quote

This quote by Cesar Chavez talks to the unfairness of the present financial system. He is pointing out that the risks of the system are put on the customer and the working class, while the benefits are only taken pleasure in by the corporations and those with money. This is an example of the power imbalance between the wealthy and the working class, and how the rich have the ability to take advantage of the working class. Chavez is requiring a more equitable system, where the risks and benefits are shared more similarly. He is promoting for a system that is more reasonable and just, where the working class is not benefited from and the rich are not able to gain all the advantages. This quote is a call to action for those who are in a position to make a distinction and develop a more fair system.
