Last weeks Liberty Quiz asked the question, "Who said the following: 'I am apprehensive, therefore, perhaps too apprehensive, that the government of these states may in future times end in monarchy. But this catastrophe, I think, may be long delayed, if in our proposed system we do not sow the seeds of contention, faction, and tumult, by making our posts of honor places of profit.'"
55.6% chose "Benjamin Franklin"
11.1% chose "nobody"
33.3% chose "Samuel Adams"
The correct answer is Benjamin Franklin.
And it appears that his apprehension was well-founded. We creep ever closer to becoming a socialist monarchy because our politicians have become masters of reaping personal benefit from public office.
