They replace the teachings of our parents and boil down to a simple formula: get a monopoly, make the society work for you and remember that the best kind of business is politics, because the legislative subsidy, franchise, subsidy or tax exemption are worth more than the Kimberly or Comstock mine, since the former do not require either mental or physical labor for their use "
