“ We shall find that every effort to realize equality necessitates a sacrifice of liberty. ”
Liberty is an affair of laws and institutions which bring rights and duties into equilibrium. It is not at all an affair of selecting the proper class to rule.
~ William Graham Sumner
The lobby is the army of the plutocracy.
The forgotten man. He is the clean quiet virtuous domestic citizen who pays his debts and his taxes and is never heard of outside his little circle. ... He works he votes generally he prays but his chief business in life is to pay.
He who would be well taken care of must take care of himself.
