Money is a mechanism for control.

He who controls the money supply of a nation controls the nation.

Who do you think controls the Republican Party? Big money controls the Republican Party. This is where their campaign contributions come from.

The Federal Reserve, the Treasury, all the regulator agencies - if there's a problem of the financial mechanism in society, the only one to fix it is government. They've got a legitimate role.

We ought not to forget that the government, through all its departments, judicial as well as others, is administered by delegated and responsible agents; and that the power which really controls, ultimately, all the movements, is not in the agents, but those who elect or appoint them.

The essence of government is control, or the attempt to control.

Ours is a government of checks and balances. The Mafia and crooked businessmen make out checks, and the politicians and other compromised officials improve their bank balances.

Whoever controls work and wages, controls morals.

The government is so out of control. It is so bloated and infested with fraud and deceit and corruption and abuse of power.

I think members of the legislature, people who have to run for office, know the connection between money and influence on what laws get passed.
