Before then every American knew he was an honest man who had never disobeyed any law. In our modern times there are a plethora of laws or regulations we all know we have disobeyed daily .
“Did you really think we want those laws observed?" said Dr. Ferris. "We want them to be broken. You'd better get it straight that it's not a bunch of boy scouts you're up against... We're after power and we mean it... There's no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren't enough criminals one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws. Who wants a nation of law-abiding citizens? What's there in that for anyone? But just pass the kind of laws that can neither be observed nor enforced or objectively interpreted – and you create a nation of law-breakers – and then you cash in on guilt. Now that's the system, Mr. Reardon, that's the game, and once you understand it, you'll be much easier to deal with.”No Reverend, we haven't tried “constitutionally limited government” for an age.― Ayn Rand, Atlas Shrugged
“Since 1900 politicians in the executives and the legislatives with the approval of the judiciary have created laws, statutes, policies and regulations that have expanded government instead of limiting it.”
So if “constitutionally limited government” has been unable to limit socialists and leftists and communists for over one hundred years now, isn’t it time to declare it a failure and move on to other means to protect normal people from the left ?
