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 that money is flowing to those who deal,
not in goods, but in favors
When you see that men get richer by graft and pull than by hard work,
and your laws don’t protect you against them, but protect them against you
When you see corruption being rewarded and honesty becoming self-sacrifice
You may know your society is doomed.
Atlas Shrugged
Ayn Rand I'm not a big Rand fan but this quote accurately mirrors the US today.
