I'm looking for a quote, paraphrased it goes like this: "for every man with a dollar for which he didn't sweat, there is another man who sweated for dollar he didn't get"

Any help would be nice, this is driving me nuts!

 "For every man who gets a dollar he didn't sweat for, someone else sweated to produce a dollar he never received."

-Bill Haywood

That what you're looking for?

If one man has a dollar he didn't work for, some other man worked for a dollar he didn't get.


Bill Haywood, Roughneck, The Life and Times of Big Bill Haywood (1983) by Peter Carlson, p. 146
Paraphrased variant: For every man who gets a dollar he didn't sweat for, someone else sweated to produce a dollar he never received.

I prefer the OP's rhyming version.
