Montague Monologue from The Machine

From The Machine by Upton Sinclair

male · defiant · 56 sec

Grimes' brother is the president of the company I have reference to. (LAURA: I see; it is a regular system.) It is a business, and there is no way to punish it... it does not violate any law... (LAURA: And yet it is quite as bad!) It is far worse, because of its vast scope. It carries every form of corruption in its train. It means the prostitution of our whole system of government... the subsidizing of our newspapers, and of the great political parties. It means that judges are chosen who will decide in favor of the corporations; that legislators are nominated who will protect them against attack. It means everywhere the enthronement of ignorance and incompetence, of injustice and fraud.
