Ridiculous quote. Government is a tool, it has no hands. It is a tool used by hands, it could be in the hands of a free people, or in the hands of the rich enslaving the people with it. How government is ruled is similar to how we are all are, with money and debt. The money system we have is what needs to change; from a private system issuing money as debt, to a public system issuing money as an asset share in the nation's equity. The "anti-government" sentiment is constantly being repeated to keep people from realizing someone has stolen this vital tool for their liberation. I much prefer this Tom Paine quote; "We have it within our power to begin the world over again." It is the big business banking industry that has its hands in every corner of industry. It is the Great Banking Combine that Alfred Crozier wrote about in U.S. Money vs Corporation Currency.
