Quote of the day

When you see that trading is done, not by consent, but by compulsion

— when you see that in order to produce, you need to obtain permission from men who produce nothing

— when you see money flowing to those who deal, not in goods, but in favors

— when you see that men get richer by graft and 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 a self-sacrifice

— you may know that your society is doomed

Ayn Rand
