"I
have not learned the doctrine that cheapness is the only
thing in the world we are to go for. I do not believe that the
great object of life is to make everything cheap."
~Sen. Teller, during the debate on the Sherman Act
(Cong. Rec. 2561, 1890)
"I hope
we shall crush in its birth the aristocracy of our monied
corporations which dare already to challenge our government to
a trial of strength, and bid defiance to the laws our country."
~Thomas Jefferson, 1816
"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 prolong
its 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, 1864 |
