"I am interested in power, too, but power for you, the people, not power for bureaucrats and politicians and officeholders and all the like."

Previous Quote

The American businessmen, as a class, have demonstrated the greatest productive genius and the most spectacular achievements ever recorded in the economic history of mankind. What reward did they receive from our culture and its intellectuals? The position of a hated, persecuted minority. The position of a scapegoat for the evils of the bureaucrats.
