“Men naturally rebel against the injustice of
which they are victims. Thus, when plunder is organized by law for the profit of
those who make the law, all the plundered classes try somehow to enter - by
peaceful or revolutionary means - into the making of laws. According to their
degree of enlightenment, these plundered classes may propose one of two entirely
different purposes when they attempt to attain political power: Either they may
wish to stop lawful plunder, or they may wish to share in it.”
~ Frederic Bastiat, The
Law
