"I see in the near future a crisis approaching that unnerves me and causes me to tremble for the safety of my country...coporations have been enthroned and 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 all wealth is aggregated in a few hands all the Republic is destroyed."
- Aabraham Lincoln, 1864
I remember I really enjoyed this quote when I started reading the book Corporation Nation some years back. Corny name aside, it's quitea good read. I find it kind of fitting considering all the open corruption that has been spilling out onto news as of late.
Have a enjoyable weekend.
