From the diaries of Rutherford B. Hayes:

March 11. Sunday.--Mayor Hewitt, of New York, is complimented by the newspapers for brave words spoken on the labor question. They are all in criticism of the Labor men. Some obvious blunders of the leaders and mistakes in methods are easily pointed out. But there is no bravery in it, and I suspect not much wisdom. The real difficulty is with the vast wealth and power in the hands of the few and the unscrupulous who represent or control capital. Hundreds of laws of Congress and the state legislatures are in the interest of these men and against the interests of the workingmen. These need to be exposed and repealed. All laws on corporations, on taxation, on trusts, wills, descent, and the like, need examination and extensive change. This is a government of the people, by the people, and for the people no longer. It is a government of corporations, by corporations, and for corporations. -- How is this? To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 2 or greater. You currently have 0 posts. .

Since you need corporations to buy your seat at public office, I don't think those laws will be repealed to serve the working man or woman's interests anytime soon. Its a nice thought though.
