"Labor is prior to, and independent of, capital.
Capital is only the fruit of labor, and could never have existed if labor had not first existed.
Labor is the superior of capital, and deserves much the higher consideration."
Abraham Lincoln; First Annual Message to Congress, Dec. 3, 1861.

" I see in the near future a crises 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 in places will follow,
and the money power in 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
