"The fate of the country does not depend on how you vote at the polls -- the worst man is as strong as the best at that game; it does not depend on what kind of paper you drop into the ballot-box once a year, but on what kind of man you drop from your chamber into the street every morning." ~ Henry David Thoreau
"A perverse incentive is the third way by the state. The perverse incentive tries its best to encourage sub-optimal behavior to benefit the few at the expense of the many. It is a means to subdue and force loyalty albeit, a false loyalty from the lash and the fetters. Innumerable penalties and threats are the lion’s share that leads to the well-trodden path of the statist ladder of obedience – threatening, fining, kidnapping, caging, maiming and killing."
