Summary

This quote suggests that income taxes impose a heavier burden on those who are morally upright or just, while benefiting those who are morally corrupt or unjust. The idea is that the just man is more likely to comply honestly with tax obligations, thereby paying a larger portion of their income. Meanwhile, the unjust person might exploit loopholes or engage in tax evasion, leading to a lesser tax burden despite possessing the same amount of income. In this way, the quote highlights a perceived unfairness or imbalance within taxation systems.

How strange that we should ordinarily feel compelled to hide

How strange that we should ordinarily feel compelled to hide our wounds when we are all wounded! Community requires the ability to expose our wounds and weaknesses to our fellow creatures. It also requires the ability to be affected by the wounds of others... But even more important is the love that arises among us when we share, both ways, our woundedness.

Politicians -- power itself -- are abject because they merely embody the profound contempt people have for their own lives. One should be grateful to the politicians for accepting the abstractness of power, and ridding others of its burden. This inevitably kills them but they get their revenge by passing onto others the corpse of power.
