"Social Justice and A Living Wage" speech (November 18, 1934), p. 26
“
If I own a shotgun that is no argument why I may kill my neighbor’s child. If I own a factory that is no argument why I may starve the laborers to make profits and profits only for the stockholders. All property is subject to control.
— Charles Coughlin
What It Means
This is a placeholder explanation generated by the low-overhead model. It interprets "If I own a shotgun that is no argument why I may kill my neighbor’s child. If I own a factory that is no argument why I may starve the laborers to make profits and profits only for the stockholders. All property is subject to control." in the context of ""Social Justice and A Living Wage" speech (November 18, 1934), p. 26" to mean that wisdom is timeless.

About Charles Coughlin
Charles Edward Coughlin (October 25, 1891 – October 27, 1979), was a Canadian-American Roman Catholic priest based in the United States near Detroit. Commonly known as Father Coughlin, he was one of the first political leaders to use radio to reach a mass audience: during the 1930s, an estimated 30 million listeners tuned to his weekly broadcasts. He was forced off the air in 1939 because of his pro-fascist and anti-semitic rhetoric.
