Thomas Robert Malthus

That the increase of population is necessarily limited by the means of subsistence,

That population does invariably increase when the means of subsistence increase, and,

That the superior power of population is repressed, and the actual population kept equal to the means of subsistence, by misery and vice.

hmmmm, misery and vice, the central plank of the DNC.

Clearly Malthus didn’t know what he was talking about — never attribute to conspiracy (or misery and vice) what can be attributed to Smith’s Invisible Hand. If Malthus were around now, he’d be running ACORN or Occupy.
