Honest opinion about government from George Carey:
[S]ince at least the advent of the New Deal,…the dominant political forces have seen their main task as one of achieving "social democracy" which, when distilled, comes down to greater economic and social equality. The extent of the shift over four decades can hardly be exaggerated. What were formerly regarded as dispensations by government are now looked upon as vested rights. We now have entrenched interests in the bureaucracy whose very livelihood depends upon identifying social "wrongs" and developing long-range plans to ameliorate them. The quest for equality in all spheres of social life seemingly knows no bounds short of repealing the laws of nature.
In Defense of the Constitution, 1989
