Today, I received a mail about the speech which was given by FDR(Franklin D. Roosevelt) at the Madison square about 70 years ago.

When I read this speech, I was shocked because FDR looks like having a powerful foresight.
In the speech, he warned the government by organized money because he knows that kind of forces do everything on their way. That means they set the rules for their interest and do not think the other people like middle & lower class.

Madison square garden speech

 

We had to struggle with the old enemies of peace – business and financial monopoly, reckless banking, class antagonism, sectionalism, war profiteering.

They had began to consider the government of the united states as a mere appendage to their own affairs. We know now that government by organized money is just as dangerous as government by organized mob

Never before in all our history have these forces been so united against one candidate as they stand today. They are unanimous in their hate for me –and I welcome their hatred.

For studying, I try to translate the speech above. But this translation is very poor and erroneous.

우리는 기업, 재정적 독점, 무분별한 뱅킹, 계급 적대주의, 분파주의, 전쟁을 통한 이득 취하기 등 자유의 오래된 적들에 맞서야 합니다.
그들은 미국 정부를 그들의 사업에 하찮은 부속물 쯤으로 여기기 시작했습니다. 우리는 이제 조직된 돈에 의한 정부는 조직된 깡패들에 의한 정부만큼이나 위험하다는 것을 알고 있습니다.
우리의 역사를 통틀어 이런 세력들이 한명의 후보에게 오늘날처럼 이렇게 단결한 적은 없었습니다. 그들은 나를 증오하는데 이견이 없습니다. 그리고 나는 그들의 증오를 환영합니다.
