"In the further property development during succeeding centuries your ancestors continually improved, and increased their property power so that now it is the dominant factor controlling the very life and destiny of every one of you. "You have defined and legalized property as everything on your earth capable and possible of being possessed, and owned, including intangibles. It even includes the waters of your rivers, your seas, and the atmosphere over your earth surface, and you seem to be disputing the ownership of the clouds. Sunshine and air, for the time being, are still free and cannot be owned and claimed. "Your Webster's Dictionary defines property as a thing owned, exclusive right of possession. "Your Amendments to your United States Constitution, Article V, also gives assent to property. They say, 'Nor shall private property be taken for public use without just compensation.' "You have created it into and described it as wealth, or money. You have advanced it from stage to stage and perfected and increased its power to make it a fluid currency system without which no one can obtain or purchase the necessities of life. You have outlawed compulsory slavery, for a better system which _compels you to voluntarily hire yourself out_. "Those in power, to protect themselves, helped to pass strong laws for property control. Not content with the ownership of basic raw materials, real estate, financial affairs, transportation, utilities, and food production and distribution, they systematically entered into every sphere of industrial manufacturing--commercial fields, transportation, shipping, in fact every necessity of your life's existence--through individual ownership, partnership, companies, corporations, holding companies, national and international cartels, and chain company stores. "To supply the labor they need in their enterprises, most of you, through necessity, hire yourselves out to them either individually or through union contracts. "Their accumulative hoarding, cartel, and pool forming to control, monopolize, and corner industry are such that you are forced to purchase your necessities from them only, at the highest profit. Thus you pay for products, which, without your labor, could not have been created into value. Your ownership and lack of ownership of property, wealth, and power are the main contributive causes for 98% of the laws you make and have on your statute books.
