Book excerpt: Excerpt from Dynastic America: And Those Who Own It Lincoln warned against and that Theodore Roosevelt called the Invisible Government. It is the power of Great Wealth, lodged in the hands of the Few, wielded for their benefit and against the interest of all the people. Here for the first time is told who constitute that Great Power. Here is shown who these individuals are and of what their wealth consists. Here are shown the details of their possessions and the fact that excessive private fortunes are in the hands of second, third, fourth and fifth generations, who exerted little or no effort to obtain them. The power of the government, that is, of all the people collee tively, should be greater than that of any individual or set of men, and the only way such restoration can be accomplished is by curtailing the wealth-power of the Few. In this book, I propose that private fortunes be limited, so that the surplus or excess over a certain amount, goes to the government. In this way, the government becomes the principal stockholder and bondholder in all monopoly and draws the bulk of revenue therefrom; the cost of government is defrayed out of income on public property, the cost of living reduced, the wages of employees increased, and the interests of small stockholders and bondholders benefited. Taxation in time disappears and govern ment and business become simplified. Such is the remedy which I propose as an offset to the bolshevism and anarchy which threaten. The facts contained in this book should move all right-thinking persons in the same direction. My idea is that the constitution of the United States should be amended to limit excessive private fortunes. All things in life are limited - even the power of the President. Why not restrict the Greed of men and stimulate worthy ambition? About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
