Noam ChomskyFor the powerful, crimes are those that others commit.
About This Quote
When you’re the powerful, you don’t have to worry about being caught. The powerful can get away with crimes without any trouble. They can break the law and it won’t cause them any problems. The powerful are the people who are in charge. They make all the decisions for everyone else, and they can get away with doing things that others cannot do.
