For out of this modern civilization economic royalists carved new dynasties. New kingdoms were built upon concentration of control over material things.

We believe in all these things. But we do not like the way that the present administration is doing them. Just turn them over to us. We will do all of them, we will do more of them, we will do them better and, most important of all, the doing of them will not cost anybody anything!
