@novacadian, this is funny that you would mention the "Coin" phrase. A man named "Eugene Debs" wrote this isn 1908:
"The Republican and Democratic parties, or, to be more exact, the Republican-Democratic party, represent the capitalist class in the class struggle. They are the political wings of the capitalist system and such differences as arise between them relate to spoils and not to principles." ~ Eugene V. Debs
