"I mean that you have been constantly deceived.
Are you not aware that this so-called democratic country of ours has been controlled by the capitalist and the plutocrat?
Have you not learned through bitter experience that no political party seriously cares for your welfare?
The mockery of your vote was all that counted.
I mean that you have been victims of class legislation — of legislation designed to protect the rich and the property rights of the rich.
Legislation which sneered at the poor and at human rights."
- Fr. Charles E. Coughlin | A Series of Lectures on Social Justice
