Cicero, The Roman Empire:
The poor man works and works...
The rich exploit the poor.
The soldier protects both.
The taxpayer pays for all three.
The banker robs all four.
The lawyer pretends to defend all five.
The doctor treats and bills all six.
The guard scares all seven.
The politician lives happily at the expense of all.
