The corruption power of money

[zen at freedbms.net (Zenaan Harkness)]

How's this for current apropos:

   "The sham state of today, oppressing the majority and protecting
   the pirated gains of bankers and stock exchange speculators, is
   the area for reckless private enrichment and for the lowest
   political profiteering; it gives no thought to its people, and
   provides no high moral bond of union.  The power of money, most
   ruthless of all powers, holds absolute control, and exercises
   corrupting, destroying influence on state, nation, society,
   morals"

On topic, history repeats, the fundamentals are simple.
