“Future generations of Americans may find health insurance more affordable, but they will also find hard work less financially rewarding.”

- N. Gregory Mankiw

“In the United States politics takes the form of representative democracy. People elect representatives who operate the levers of power. They are agents who are supposed to represent the interests of the people. In reality, they tend to put their own interests ahead of the interests of the people. Getting elected is expensive and representatives are beholden to their supporters. Those who don’t play the game don’t get elected. That is how money pollutes politics and special interests trump the public interest.”

- George Soros
