What People Seem to Have Forgotten and Politicans Scorn

"[C]ommercial shackles are generally unjust, oppressive and impolitic. ...[I]f industry and labour are left to take their own course, they will generally be directed to those objects which are the most productive, and this in a more certain and direct manner than the wisdom of the most enlightened legislature could point out."

. . . James Madison, speech to Congress
9 April 1789
