"When you have made evil the means of survival"

 "When you have made evil the means of survival, do not expect men to remain good. Do not expect them to stay moral and lose their lives for the purpose of becoming the fodder of the immoral. Do not expect them to produce, when production is punished and looting rewarded. Do not ask, 'Who is destroying the world?' You are." 

Ayn Rand / Atlas Shrugged

 

Until people stop blaming government for all their problems, and start pointing their fingers back at themselves for granting that government it's needed consent to do the things that are repugnant to them, they have no one to blame but themselves.
