I see in the near future a crisis approaching that unnerves me and causes me to
tremble for the safety of my country...Corporations have been enthroned, an era of corruption
in high places will follow, and the money-power of the country will endeavor to prolong its
reign by working upon the prejudices of the people until the wealth is aggregated in a few hands and the Republic is destroyed. - Abraham Lincoln, quoted in Jack London's "The Iron Heel." |
