I
am a most unhappy man, I have unwittingly ruined my country. A great
industrial nation is controlled by it's system of credit.
Our system of credit has concentrated the growth of the nation, therefore
all of our activities are in the hands of a few men
We have come to be one of the worst ruled and one of the most completely
controlled and dominated governments in the civilized world.
No longer a government by free opinion, no longer a government by
conviction and the vote of the majority, but a government by opinion
and duress of a small group of dominant men. Woodrow Wilson
President of the United States 1913 - 1921.
