I'd say that in the past they were less obnoxious about trying to grind the poor and middle class into the ground but that is not true, either. The Robber Barons of the late 19th century were every bit as bad as the corporate scum we have running the show now.

Quote:The vast individual and corporate fortunes, the vast combinations of capital which have marked the development of our industrial system, create new conditions, and necessitate a change from the old attitude of the state and the nation toward property... More and more it is evident that the State and if necessary the nation, has got to possess the right of supervision and control as regards the great corporations which are its creatures.
– Theodore Roosevelt, 1901
