Quote #13 on Political Struggle Quotes >> State and Domination
“Caesar had his Brutus, Charles I his Cromwell, George III his Washington, and the money-power may profit by their example. Divine rights have been succeeded by vested rights which look on government as a kind of cow which no one has the right to milk but themselves. As long as it fills their pails with special privileges, land grants, contracts, railroad charters, tax bounties, we hear nothing about the old saw that that government is the best which governs least.”
