"The
government consists of a gang of men exactly like you and me.
They
have, taking one with another, no special talent for the business of
government; they have only a talent for getting and holding office. Their
principal device to that end is to search out groups who pant and pine for
something they can't get and to promise to give it to them. Nine times out of
ten that promise is worth nothing. The tenth time is made good by looting A
to satisfy B.
In other
words, government is a broker in pillage, and every election is sort of an
advance auction sale of stolen goods."
H.L. Mencken
