"The money power preys on the nation in times of peace, and conspires against it in times of adversity.

It denounces, as public enemies, all who question its methods or throw light upon its crimes."
-Abraham Lincoln

"They realize that in thirty-four months we have built up new instruments of public power. In the hands of a peoples Government this power is wholesome and proper.
But in the hands of political puppets of an economic autocracy such power would provide shackles
for the liberties of the people."
-Franklin D. Roosevelt
