“Your principle has placed these words above the entrance of the legislative chamber: “whosoever acquires any influence here can obtain his share of legal plunder.” And what has been the result? All classes have flung themselves upon the doors of the chamber crying: “A share of the plunder for me, for me!””
[Selected Essays on Political Economy, Section 8: Plunder and law, Frederic Bastiat;

[Prov. 30:7-9, Bible, NKJV]
