English-born American Political Activist, Philosopher, Political Theorist, and Revolutionary
: An English-born American political activist, philosopher, political theorist, and revolutionary. He authored Common Sense (1776) and The American Crisis (1776?1783), two of the most influential pamphlets at the start of the American Revolution, and helped inspire the Patriots in 1776 to declare independence from Great Britain, hitherto an unpopular cause.

Quote #12 on Economic Struggle Quotes >> Class Warfare and Equality
“The sight of the misery, and the unpleasant sensations it suggests, which, though they may be suffocated cannot be extinguished, are a greater drawback upon the felicity of affluence than the proposed ten percent [tax] upon property is worth. He that would not give the one to get rid of the other has no charity, even for himself.”
