“The few who understand the system will either be so interested in its profits [capital gains] or be so dependent upon its favours [through entitlements and subsidies] that there will be no opposition from that [lower] class, while on the other hand, the great body of people [known as the middle-class], mentally incapable of comprehending the tremendous advantage that capital derives from the system, will bear its burdens [paying income taxes] without complaint, and perhaps without even suspecting that the system is inimical to their [long term socio-economic] interests.” -The Rothschild brothers of London writing to associates in New York, 1863.
