About this Quote

This quote by Eugene V. Debs speaks to the unfairness of the financial system. He is stating that those who work the hardest and do the most hard and menial jobs should be rewarded the most, however sadly, this is not the case. Instead, those who work the hardest and do the most tough and routine tasks are typically the ones who have the least. This quote speaks to the inequality of the financial system and how those who are doing the most work are not being rewarded for their efforts. It is a call to action to develop a more equitable financial system that rewards those who are doing the most work. Debs' quote is a tip that those who are doing the most work need to be rewarded the most, which the current financial system is not doing enough to ensure that this is the case.
