This quote from over two hundred years ago is an accurate description of
current events and attitudes. I never cease to be amazed at the wisdom of the
founding fathers.

"If, from the more wretched parts of the old world, we look at those which are
in an advanced stage of improvement, we still find the greedy hand of
government thrusting itself into every corner and crevice of industry, and
grasping the spoil of the multitude. Invention is continually exercised, to
furnish new pretenses for revenues and taxation. It watches prosperity as its
prey and permits none to escape without tribute." --Thomas Paine, Rights of
Man, 1791
