Topic: Henry Ford explains America's trickle down-inflicted poverty

Where people work longest and with least leisure, they buy the fewest goods. No towns were so poor as those of England where the people, from children up, worked fifteen and sixteen hours a day. They were poor because these overworked people soon wore out -- they became less and less valuable as workers. Therefore, they earned less and less and could buy less and less.

Right. It couldn't possibly be that the cars were low-quality garbage that can't take a fucking corner without going 5mph. And the fuel economy of the cars were horrible.

Yes, a VOlkswagen can take corners fast once it's been in the shop about 40 times for electrical gremlins.
