Nice quote:

The Marxists were right [don't worry; we haven't lost our minds!] in thinking that present-day society is characterized by power relations that systematically impoverish the lower-classes while increasing the power of the wealthy. Their mistake, however, was to identify CAPITALISM as the culprit. Adam Smith, a more observant social critic than Marx, recognized that capitalists may well be the chief ENEMIES of capitalism. The rich often prefer to buy special government privileges rather than face the discipline of free-market competition.

--Roderick T. Long. Who's the Scrooge?: Libertarians and Compassion

Capitalists aren't the enemy of freedom, government and their cronies are the enemy.

Sort of falls in line with a recent Rasmussen poll showing 69% of people believing pols will break the rules for big money contributors. WOW, I'm just shocked that anyone would think something like that would happen!
