Capital must protect itself in every way... Debts must be collected and loans and mortgages foreclosed as soon as possible. When through a process of law the common people have lost their homes, they will be more tractable and more easily governed by the strong arm of the law applied by the central power of leading financiers. People without homes will not quarrel with their leaders. This is well known among our principle men now engaged in forming an imperialism of capitalism to govern the world. By dividing the people we can get them to expend their energies in fighting over questions of no importance to us except as teachers of the common herd. – J. P. Morgan	added by Normando 4 months ago

So, hats off to Larry for what he’s done, what he’s contributed. And I’m glad that he will continue to do so. – Asa Hutchinson	Found on CNN 1 year ago
