“…politicians must serve the needs and wants of first, political contributors, then of influential interest groups and finally, those of voters. It is too often overlooked that entrepreneurs and politicians, before serving those needs, are driven by their own, very individual, personal needs; these inevitably are their highest priority. Men are made that way, in order to preserve the species.” “Government can perform only two basic actions: it can use force or threat to prevent or compel the actions of others and it can take the property of others via that same force or threat. It has no other competence. There is no government function that does not flow from one or both of those basics.”
