"Because the doctors raise their rates, the attorneys raise their rates. Because the attorneys' rates have gone up, schoolteachers want a raise, which raises our taxes, and on and on and on. Soon, there will be such a horrifying gap between the rich and the poor that chaos will break out and another great civilization will collapse. Great civilizations collapsed when the gap between the haves and havenots was too great. America is on the same course, proving once again that history repeats itself, because we do not learn from history. We only memorize historical dates and names, not the lesson.
由于医生提高收费,则律师也提高收费;由于律师提高收费,学校老师也想增加收入,这就迫使政府提高税收。这样一环套一环,不久,在富人和穷人之间就有了一条可怕的鸿沟,混乱就会爆发。当鸿沟大到了极点时,一个社会就会崩溃。美国同样身在其中,这种历史一再重演,因为人们没有以史为鉴。我们只是记住了历史事件发生的时间和名称,却没有记住教训。”
"Aren't prices supposed to go up?" I asked.
“价格难道不能上涨吗?”我问。
"Not in an educated society with a well-run government. Prices should actually come down. Of course, that is often only true in theory. Prices go up because of greed and fear caused by ignorance. If schools taught people about money, there would be more money and lower prices, but schools focus only on teaching people to work for money, not how to harness money's power."
