Quote by George Bernard Shaw

The government who robs Peter to pay Paul can always depend on the support of Paul.


The government who robs Peter to pay Paul can always depend

Summary

This quote highlights the dynamic between those who benefit from unfair government policies and those who are adversely affected by them. It suggests that a government that unjustly takes from one group of people ("Peter") in order to provide benefits to another group ("Paul") will always receive the support of the latter because they are the ones benefiting. This quote implies that there may be a tendency for those who receive such benefits to overlook the unethical nature of these actions, as long as they personally benefit from them.
