Many happy returns to NEN’s long-time contributor and supporter TONY DELAHOY, who celebrates his 97th birthday today!
Happy birthday, Tony – keep up the good fight and keep those letters coming!
This is Tony’s latest contribution:
Dear Editor
Most people that you and I know have to work to live. The skills needed and the knowledge used are immense. All wealth, whatever shape or form it takes, is made by these people – the workers.
Yet the ownership of the product does not belong to those who made it, it becomes the property of investors and financial speculators.
How is it possible for such a system to be in such a powerful position, claiming the work and weath produced as their own? The answer is: they have the power to do so.
This is why a change in ownership from private to public ownership is essential.
There is every justification for public ownership of energy and transport companies: gas, water, electricity, trains, buses and trams, etc.
All these industries and others must be owned by the public, not private investors!
