Quote by George Bernard Shaw

A government which robs Peter to pay Paul can always depend on the support of Paul.

A government which robs Peter to pay Paul can always depend

Summary

This quote by George Bernard Shaw implies that a government that takes resources from one group of people (Peter) in order to provide for another group (Paul) will always have the support of the recipients. It suggests that those who benefit from such policies are more likely to support the government because they are the ones gaining from the redistribution, often at the expense of others. The quote highlights the potential for a biased system where government actions are driven by ensuring the support of certain groups rather than creating fair and equitable policies for all.

I watched a small man with thick calluses on both hands work fifteen and sixteen hours a day.
