The New Deal began, like the Salvation Army, by promising to save humanity. It ended, again like the Salvation Army, by running flophouses and disturbingthe peace. H. L. Mencken

Nothing in our current political system creates more alienation, more corruption, more mischief, and more distrust on the part of the public than that created by the volume of money flowing through Washington. Without the power brought by controlling that money, the incentive to buy, or become, a corrupt politician would disappear. In short, solving Washington’s campaign finance problem requires treating the cause of that problem — extra-Constitutional governmental intrusion into the lives of the citizens of the United States.

Only the police, the secret police, the military, the hired servants of our rulers. Only the government N and a few outlaws. I intend to be among the outlaws. Edward Abbey
