The Omnipotent State
 Cafe Hayek: Ask Not What G.E. Can Do for You....:
 "Suppose, though, that Orin Smith, President of Starbucks, were to proclaim theatrically in a telecast public address "Ask not what Starbucks can do for you.  Ask what you can do for Starbucks."
 He'd be taken for a fool.  And rightly so.  People do not exist to serve Starbucks; Starbucks exists to serve people.  That's its only justification for existence.  The same is true for every other firm and private institution.
 
 Why do we treat government differently?"
