No people, least of all a democratic people, will be content to go without work or to accept some standard of living which obviously and woefully falls short of their capacity to produce. No people, least of all a people with our traditions of personal liberty, will endure the slow erosion of opportunity for the common man, the oppressive sense of helplessness under the domination of a few, which are overshadowing our whole economic life.

Franklin Delano Roosevelt (1882–1945) American lawyer, politician, statesman, US President (1933–1945)

Message (1938-04-29) to Congress, On Curbing Monopolies
