Calls the Capitalist a Parasite: Nearing Scores Worker Costs
Professor Scott Nearing of Toledo University told a Ford Hall meeting that a New York worker earns 842 dollars yearly and costs his father 1800 as an investment. He argues upkeep is 802 dollars, net earnings 40, and with 10 dollars extra income, gross income 50. After subtracting interest on the father's investment 180, sickness and old age insurance, and depreciation, the worker would be in the hole.
