“Here is the Golden Rule of sound citizenship, the first and greatest lesson in the study of politics: You get the same order of criminality from any State to which you give power to exercise it; and whatever power you give the State to do things FOR you carries with it the equivalent power to do things TO you.” Albert Jay Nock, (1870-1945) American libertarian author, editor, educational theorist, Georgist, social critic.
