We have among us a class of mammon worshipers, whose one test of
conservatism, or radicalism, is the attitude one takes with respect to
accumulated wealth. Whatever tends to preserve the wealth of the
wealthy is called conservatism, and whatever favors anything else, no
matter what they call socialism.
-- Richard T. Ely (1854-1943)
