"When you see that trading is done, not by consent, but by compulsion -when you see that in order to produce, you need permission from men who produce nothing - when you see that men get richer by graft and by pull than by work, and your laws don't protect you against them, but protect them against you - when you see corruption being rewarded and honesty becoming self-sacrifice - you may know that your society is doomed."

Ayn Rand
