Yeah exactly, it's an exposition:
Opening statements followed by a non-fact-based predetermined conclusion of oligarchs supporting self-interest over country.
Dead guys?
John Adams:
“Avarice, ambition, revenge and licentiousness would break the strongest cords of our Constitution, as a whale goes through a net. Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.”
Benjamin Franklin:
“Only a virtuous people are capable of freedom. As nations become corrupt and vicious, they have more need of masters.”
Samuel Adams:
“But neither the wisest constitution nor the wisest laws will secure the liberty and happiness of a people whose manners are universally corrupt.”
Louis Brandeis:
“The only title in our democracy superior to that of President is the title of citizen ... Crime is contagious. If the government becomes a lawbreaker, it breeds contempt for law; it invites every man to become a law unto himself; it invites anarchy.”
