"Business corporations in general are not defenders of free enterprise. On the contrary, they are one of the chief sources of danger....Every businessman is in favor of freedom for everybody else, but when it comes to himself that's a different question. We have to have that tariff to protect us against competition from abroad. We have to have that special provision in the tax code. We have to have that subsidy."
Milton Friedman, writing in reason 1978, quoted by Johan Norberg in "Defaming Milton Friedman," reason, October 2008.
