sometimes the American peo

a mewly-rich family, where ev

and yet, Instead of enjoying
their wealth, the whole family
squabbles about who Is going to

When we see a situation like
that, you and I blame the fath
er of the family.
Well, ’ here " in the United
States, like the spoiled children,
we also are engaged in constant
quarrels.
And like the rich man’s fam

| suit of bad management at "the
top.
But' because we are a dem
ocratic nation, the blame for
bad management at the top
rests on our shoulders.
We cVmnot put the whole re
sponsibility onto a particular
administrator or administration,
because we, the people, put them
in charge of our affairs.
Furthemlore, let’s never for
get that our whole concept of
government Is based on the good
of the majority, not on one spe
cial group getting ahead of the
other groups.

The framers of our constitu
tion were careful not to give any
econotnlc group any superior
i rights to power. Yet, as our his
tory unfolded, particularly In
the last 75 years, special Inter
'ests not only began to vie for
power, but actually to claim that
they had a “right to it.”
By the end of the 19th cen
tury, corporations, for instance,
had the r^ins of government se
curely In their hands. The nat
ural reaction to this behavior
toy corporations was for the
people to Tebel against the top
dog.
In1 the past 20 years, this pub
lic reaction, has swung so far
that new groups have arisen to
claim the power of governing.
Labor makes Its claim' to po
litical power.
j Farm groups say they should
have special powers because
they produce the food. Consum
ers advance claims because they
do the buying and thus main

In all sanity, the time has ar
rived "when we must put an end
to the concept of governing by
pitting group against group.
We want neither a ruling class
nor special-interest groups. A
bove all, we do not want our
nation divided by playing fav
