It's depressing that so many Americans cheer for and root for these Corporations. The founding fathers, and a lot of other 19th century presidents, KNEW and HATED the corporations — yet too, too many sheep-like Americans today will tell us how Wal-Mart is GOOD for the community.
I hope we shall crush ... in its birth the aristocracy of our moneyed corporations. — Thos. Jefferson, 1816
Corporations have been enthroned ... the money powers of the country will endeavor to prolong its reign until all wealth is aggregated in a few hands and the Republic is destroyed. — Abe Lincoln
While the citizens are struggling far in the rear or are trampled beneath an iron wheel, corporations ... are fast becoming the people’s masters. — Grover Cleveland, 1888
