Quote by Gore Vidal
The genius of our ruling class is that it has kept a majority of the people from ever questioning the inequity of a system where most people drudge along, paying heavy taxes for which they get nothing in return.
Summary
This quote suggests that the ruling class possesses the ability to prevent the majority of people from critically examining the fairness of a system in which they labor and contribute through taxes without receiving sufficient benefits in return. The ruling class's genius lies in maintaining this status quo and stifling any questioning or dissent, thereby perpetuating the inequity within the system.
