This is what he wrote:
“I see in the near future a crisis
approaching that unnerves me & causes me to tremble for the safety of my
country. As a result of the war, corporations have been enthroned & an era
of corruption in high places will follow, & the money power of 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, & the Republic is destroyed.
I feel at this moment more anxiety for the safety of my country than ever
before, even in the midst of war.”
Abraham Lincoln
Yes Mr. Lincoln and it unnerves a lot of us today. Ironically Mr. Lincoln, it is that very political party called "Republican" that is leading the way in helping the very few hoard all the wealth and the power. Who'd knew?
It is uncanny how this brilliant man could predict something
that is happening almost two hundred years ago. There is no doubt in my mind
that if he was living today and President he would unconditionally and
fervently support the 99% movement.
