The contempt for law and the contempt for the human consequences of lawbreaking go from the bottom to the top of American society. We must especially beware of that small group of selfish men who would clip the wings of the American Eagle in order to feather their own nests. A person with predatory instincts who has not sufficient capital to form a corporation.
Few men have virtue to withstand the highest bidder.
