Quote by Mortimer Zuckerman

Americans cannot maintain their essential faith in government if there are two Americas, in which the private sector's work subsidizes the disproportionate benefits of this new public sector elite.

Americans cannot maintain their essential faith in governmen

Summary

This quote emphasizes the importance of maintaining faith in government for Americans. It argues that having two Americas, one where the private sector's work supports a privileged public sector elite, undermines this faith. The quote suggests that if a significant portion of the population feels that their efforts are being used to benefit a select few in the public sector, it could lead to a loss of trust in government. To sustain essential faith in government, it is implied that a more balanced and equitable distribution of benefits is necessary.
