Never underestimate the power of politics
A true quote by Tom Woods.
Never underestimate the ability of politics and government to confuse people. That's what they are there for. It's to fill our heads with the idea that they are the saviours, or at least there's one party among them, that are the great saviours. And without them it would all be terrible. We'd all have jobs that earn us 3 cents an hour, we'd all be dead. Just what you've read in your seventh grade textbook.
What a coincidence that the textbook contains only "government"-approved "facts", eh?
