'We Are Fighting with All Our
Strength to Prevent the Gluttons of
Privilege from Swallowing the Country'
"The Wall Street reactionaries are not satisfied with being rich. They want
to increase their power and privileges, regardless of what happens to
the other fellow. They are gluttons of privilege." – Phil Angelides,
former California State Treasurer and chairman of the
Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission,
quoting Harry Truman
Read Truman's Speech
"You remember the results of that Wall Street Republican policy. You
remember the big boom and the great crash ... That was a painful
lesson. It should not be forgotten for a moment."
