"When you see trading is done, not by consent, but by compulsion - when you see in order to produce, you need to obtain permission from men who produce nothing - when you see money is flowing to those who deal, not in goods, but in favors - when you see 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 rewarded and honesty becoming a self-sacrifice - you know that your society is doomed."
Absolutely true and brilliantly stated!
