A Thought For This Morning

Consider that this was written 60 years ago:

When you see that trading is done, not by consent, but by compulsion.
When you see that in order to produce you need permission from men who
produce nothing. When you see money flowing to those who deal not in
goods but in favors. When you see men get richer by graft and pull
more than work, and your laws don't protect you against them but
protect them against you. And when you see corruption being rewarded
and honesty becoming a self-sacrifice you may know that your society
is doomed.
