“Empire is a pricey, often amoral, business. It is something that many Americans apparently want to know little about as long as the government gives them more welfare programs, even though it means the gradual loss of both economic and political liberty. Still, it is a temptation that has seduced millions of Americans as more and more of them see their livelihoods tied to the warfare/welfare state. This state idolatry corrupts the character of a people, withering away their independence. It progressed so far in Germany by the 1930s that there was no longer any need to speak of overt nationalization.”
