"All the measures of the Government are directed to the purpose of making the rich richer and the poor poorer"

This quote by William Henry Harrison is a criticism of the federal government's policies and their results on the population. It suggests that the government is actively working to increase the wealth of the wealthy and reduce the wealth of the poor. This could be done through tax policies that favor the wealthy, or through policies that make it harder for the bad to gain access to resources or services. It indicates that the federal government is not working to develop a more equitable society, however rather is actively working to increase the space in between the rich and the poor. This quote is a reminder that the federal government need to be working to develop a more fair society, and not just to benefit the wealthy.
