A truer political truth there never was:
"The Populists, as do all reformers, assumed that social good can be achieved through political action. They ignored the age-old fact that whenever the government does 'good' it acts in the interests of some at the expense of others, meanwhile acquiring power for itself. The end product of government intervention in the economy of the country is more power for government. It never gives up power; it never abdicates." Frank Chodorov
Unless maybe it's this:
"Every strengthening of the State is accomplished by a weakening of the moral fiber of the people."
