Eugene V. Debs was born in Terre Haute on Nov 5, 1855. His revolutionary spirit lives in the global struggle for economic and social justice. While there is a lower class, I am in it; while there is a criminal element, I am of it; while there is a soul in prison, I am not free.

@DebsMuseum No, you would go out of business if you don't get more out of your employees than you bring in monetarily. That's not exploitation. That's successfully running a business. If you think profits aren't a necessity in society, there would be no jobs. Peace out.
