I will never turn a blind eye to the corruption of those who benefit from capitalism transforming themselves into statist whores, just because it might put a smear on the good name o capitalism.

But even then, I place the blame where it belongs. Just as there would be no whores without Johns willing to pay them, there would be no crony capitalists without favor peddling politicians.
"A strict observance of the written laws is doubtless one of the high duties of a good citizen, but it is not the highest. The laws of necessity, of self-preservation, of saving our country when in danger, are of higher obligation. To lose our country by a scrupulous adherence to written law, would be to lose the law itself, with life, liberty, property and all those who are enjoying them with us; thus absurdly sacrificing the end to the means."

For every favor peddling politician there are hundreds of thousands, if not millions of voters in line with their hands out.
