''What we have is government of the people, by the bureaucrats, for the bureaucrats!'

Quote

Milton Friedman

Cato Institute, speech at the opening of its new building, May 1993

"We are not governed by the people, that’s a myth; that carries over from Abraham Lincoln’s day.

We don’t have government of the people, by the people, for the people.

What we have is government of the people, by the bureaucrats, for the bureaucrats!"
