Accumulation of Property
For Conservatives and Libertarians who may think Paine was one of them.
“The accumulation of personal property is, in many instances, the effect of paying too little for the labor that produced it; the consequence of which is that the working hand perishes in old age, and the employer abounds in affluence.”
Thomas Paine
AGRARIAN JUSTICE
Five Points, NYC. 1827 by George Catlin.
Wonder what old Tom near NY thought of the Burr-Hamilton feud, and did he choose a side?
Paine's life, loosely and carelessly defined by so many today, bears upon close consideration the fascinating intrigue and drama of the best of true crime mysteries. Following his astounding travels and writings is less an "Antique Roadshow" and far more depth than any "History Detectives" show could cover. Pardon the PBS puns. lol
