It's what you learn after you know it all that counts --

The real difficulty is with the vast wealth and power in the
hands of the few and the unscrupulous who represent or
control capital. Hundreds of laws of Congress and the state
legislatures are in the interest of these men and against the
interests of workingmen. These need to be exposed and
repealed. All laws on corporations, on taxation, on trusts,
wills, descent, and the like, need examination and extensive
change. This is a government of the people, by the people,
and for the people no longer. It is a government of
corporations, by corporations,and for corporations.
- How is this? - Diary of Rutherford B Hayes

Corrupted by wealth and power, your government is like a
restaurant with only one dish. They've got a set of
Republican waiters on one side and a set of Democratic
waiters on the other side. But no matter which set of 
waiters brings you the dish, the legislative grub is all
prepared in the same Wall Street kitchen - Huey Long

The whole purpose of government is to see that the little
