A very prophetic and timely quote from President Lincoln

"The money power preys upon the nation in times of peace,  and conspires against it in times of adversity. It is more despotic than monarchy, more insolent than autocracy, more selfish than bureaucracy. It denounces, as public enemies, all who question its methods or throw light upon its crimes. I have two great enemies, the Southern Army in front of me, and the financial institutions in the rear. Of the two, the one in my rear is my greatest foe." ~ Abraham Lincoln, 16th President of the US, November 1864.
