Power Corrupts

Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Great men are almost always bad men, even when they exercise influence and not authority, still more when you superadd the tendency or the certainty of corruption by authority. There is no worse heresy than that the office sanctifies the holder of it.

Lord Acton

Why don’t people make fun of the “efficient governments” hypothesis? The libertarian argument is not that markets are perfect, it’s that politicians are even more short-sighted.

Mungowitz

Rhode Islanders! More of your tax dollars at work with crony capitalists: 38 Studios: Curt Schilling’s Crony Capitalism Debacle. Sheesh.

Because politicians are just so good at predicting the future and as venture capitalists, using YOUR money. Enough.
