that unnerves me and causes me to tremble

by working upon the prejudices of the people

"I have two great enemies, the Southern Army in front of me and the financial institutions at the rear; the latter is my greatest foe.

Corporations have been enthroned and an era of corruption in high places will follow, and the money power of the country will endeavour to prolong its reign by working upon the prejudices of the people until the wealth is aggregated in the hands of a few, and the Republic is destroyed."

i recently read the words of a great american leader, who wrote:

 

"i see in the near future a crisis 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 places will follow, and the money power of the country will endeavour to prolong its reign by working on the prejudices of the people until all wealth is aggregated in a few hands and the republic is destroyed"

The values that sustain huge inequalities in wealth are the same values that deprive us of intimacy, community &
