Freedom Means...?

"[T]oday here in the United States of America, and in all industrialized countries...there is a class of men and women, perhaps the majority, that...is unfree.

"I mean, all those who subsist on a wage, the price paid for the commodity they have and who have no other means of maintenance for themselves and their families.

"I mean...all those who subsist on a wage that is paid to them by those who are, in actuality, their masters; a wage that may be withdrawn at any time and for any reason, leaving them on the dole, or to starve, if they can find no new job...

"These are not free men in any rational and exact sense of the word."
-Ralph Adams Cram, written in 1937

This definition of freedom is certainly worth considering in our time.
