Quote #10
THATCHER: It is my considered belief that Mr. Charles Foster Kane, in every essence of his social beliefs and by the dangerous manner in which he has persistently attacked the American traditions of private property, initiative and opportunity for advancement, is in fact nothing more or less than a Communist.
It's true that Charles Kane has a lot of money and power. But do you know who else does, too? All of the rich people in America that Kane attacks with his newspapers. Even his former legal guardian, Mr. Thatcher, calls Kane a Communist in a public meeting. This just goes to show that when you attack the rich, you have to be ready for a war.
