The quote is from Ludwig Von Mises, an Austrian Economist (1881-1973)
The worst evils which mankind has ever had to endure were inflicted by bad governments.
RIGHT BEFORE OUR EYES
Have we not learned from history
What the evil men can do
In the name of government
How they can control and torture you?
Big governments past
Have risen to evil heights
Regulating the people's lives away
Refusing them their rights
The past should paint a picture
Not difficult to decipher
About all the damage governments have done
When they became the great divider
Promises had become an iron fist
Death and starvation had become a fact
Governments cannot stop their rise
Once there are no more patriots to react
While there are some who see it coming
There are too many satisfied
To be thrown crumbs of an existence
As a frugal compromise
When government has grown to such a size
Our rights are recognized no more
And our guns have now been taken
By the soldiers at our door
Right before our eyes
Our constitution can be shredded
And liberty as we knew it
Is systematically beheaded
Will we look upon the past
And wonder why we had not learned?
How evil men can become your leaders
While apathetic backs are turned
