"Every person ought to enjoy the fruits of his labour, in full
possession of all necessaries, and many of the conveniences of life. ...
Add to this, that where the riches are in few hands, these must enjoy
all the power, and will readily conspire to lay the whole burden on the
poor, and oppress them still further, to the discouragement of all
industry" (Hume (1975) pp. 271-2).
