Quote context

[...]

- Hundreds of people pass you by in every line of business: shoes, hats, automobiles, radios, furniture, everything.

- They're all nice, loveable people and they let you alone.

- Now, is that right?

- Then you get hold of some dough, and what happens?

- All those nice, sweet, loveable people become Heelots. A lot of heels!

- They begin creepin' up on you. Trying to sell you something.

- They get long claws and they get a stranglehold on you.

- You squirm and you duck and you holler, and you try to push 'em away but you haven't got a chance. They got ya.

- First thing you know, you own things. A car, for instance. Now your whole life is messed up with a lot more stuff:

- You got license fees, number plates, gas and oil, taxes, insurance, identification cards, letters, bills, flat tires, dents, traffic tickets, motorcycle cops, courtrooms, lawyers, fines and a million other things.

Show me an American who can keep his mouth shut and I'll eat him.
There are so many complaining, political speeches. People are tired of hearing nothing but doom and despair on the radio.
Wake up, John Doe, you're the hope of the world.
Back to the jungle, you hobo.
