The cult of the omnipotent state has millions of followers in the United States. Americans of today view their government in the same way as Christians view their God; they worship and adore the state and they render their lives and fortunes to it.

They believe that everything they do is, and should be, dependent on the consent of the government. —Jacob Hornberger
