“A too great disproportion among the citizens weakens any
state. Every person, if possible, ought to enjoy the fruits of his labour, in a
full possession of all the necessities, and many of the conveniences of life.
No one can doubt, but such an equality is most suitable to human nature, and
diminishes much less from the happiness of the rich than it adds to that of the
poor.”
David Hume (1711-76)
