"If we pass this bill...there'll be no landlords left in Ireland. Don't threaten us with a good time. What service do landlords provide? What wealth do landlords produce in this economy?

"Landlords' right has its origin in robbery. The landlords, like all other men, love to reap where they never sowed, and demand a rent even for the natural produce of the earth."
I’m not sure Smith would have liked Marxism, but I do think he would’ve liked Georgism (i.e. the furthest-right economic stance that’s still worth taking seriously).
