"In 1964, a poll conducted by the University of Michigan showed that 64% of voters believed that government is 'run for the benefit of all', and only 29% thought that it is 'pretty much run by a few big interests looking out for themselves'. In 1988, according the the Wall Street Journal, '24 years and innumerable Washington scandals later, the same survey group found the proportion reversed: 63% believed that America is run by a government of the few and for the few, while 31% thought it is run for the greater good'."

"Sudden Sanctimony: U.S. Congress Seeks to Shun Any Hint It is In Debt to Big Debt to Big Givers," Wall Street Journal, 11 August 1989; quoted in Political Parties and Democracy, by Arthur Lipow, Pluto Press, 1996, page 53.

And now look how bad things are. If the course of America is to change, we must change it.
