Quote by Benjamin Disraeli
You have despoiled churches. You have threatened every corporation and endowment in the country. You have examined into everybodys affairs. You have criticised every profession and vexed every trade. No one is certain of his property, and nobody knows what duties he may have to perform to-morrow. This is the policy of confiscation as compared with that of concurrent endowment.
Summary
This quote points out the disruptive and contentious nature of certain actions taken by the speaker's audience. It suggests that these actions, such as defiling churches and causing anxiety amongst businesses and individuals, have been carried out under a policy of confiscation rather than cooperative support. The quote implies that the policy of concurrent endowment, which involves providing simultaneous benefits or support to different entities, would be a better alternative to the current divisive approach. The speaker believes that the current policy undermines certainty, stability, and the integrity of various sectors in society.
