Government is the great fiction through which everybody endeavors to live at the expense of everybody else. The politician attempts to remedy the evil by increasing the very thing that caused the evil in the first place, legal plunder.

And now that the legislators and do-gooders have futilely inflicted so many systems upon society, may they finally end where they should have begun: May they reject all systems. And try liberty.

- Frederic Bastiat
