Money is power, and in that government which pays all the public officers of the states will all political power be substantially concentrated.

The greatest power is not money power, but political power.

It was settled by the Constitution, the laws, and the whole practice of the government that the entire executive power is vested in the President of the United States.

The people are the government, administering it by their agents; they are the government, the sovereign power.

It is economic power that determines political power, and governments become the political functionaries of economic power.

Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun.
