"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 and an era of corruption in high places will follow, and the money power of the country will endeavor to reign by working upon the prejudices of the people until all wealth is aggregated in a few hands and the Republic is destroyed."
-Abraham Lincoln, November 1864, as excerpted from Plutocracy & Democracy: How Money Corrupts Our Politics and Culture
