How out of touch can a government be? It's nothing new. When presented with the economics of finance versus freedom, Franklin could scarcely contain his exasperation -
"... They have no idea that any people can act from any principle but that of interest; and they believe that 3d. in a pound of tea, of which one does not drink perhaps 10lb in a year, is sufficient to overcome all the patriotism of an American"
- Benjamin Franklin, London, June 1773
Franklin knew that real values have no price. If you can be bought, you can be sold.
