"Did you really
think we want those laws observed?" "We want
them to be broken. You'd better get it straight that it's not a bunch of
boy scouts you're up against... We're after power and we mean it...
There's no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has
is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren't enough
criminals one makes them. One declares so many things to be a
crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws.
Who wants a nation of law-abiding citizens? What's there in that for
anyone? But just pass the kind of laws that can neither be observed nor
enforced or objectively interpreted – and you create a nation of
law-breakers – and then you cash in on guilt. Now that's the system, that's the game, and once you understand it, you'll be
much
easier to deal with." ('Atlas Shrugged' 1957)
