Frédéric Bastiat
“When plunder becomes a way of life for a group of men in a society, over the course of time they create for themselves a legal system that authorizes it and a moral code that glorifies it.”
― Frédéric Bastiat

H.L. Mencken
“Democracy is a pathetic belief in the collective wisdom of individual ignorance.”
― H.L. Mencken
