I define it this way... Left-Wing (lots of bureaucrats) Right-Wing (less bureaucrats) “When you see that in order to produce, you need to obtain permission from men who produce nothing - When you see that money is flowing to those who deal, not in goods, but in favors - When you see that men get richer by graft and by pull than by work, and your laws don’t protect you against them, but protect them against you - When you see corruption being rewarded and honesty becoming a self-sacrifice - You may know that your society is doomed.” AYN RAND We needed a permit to access an area and it was my job to get it. I forgot to get the permit, we accessed the area and got the job finished. To get the permit would have taken 30 days and cost $200, plus hours of time filling out forms and talking to people. To access the area, do the job and get caught without the permit is a possible fine of $500. And there was some dispute as to needing a permit because no trees were cut.
