The Measure of a Man

CHAPTER X
47/56

The Poor Laws, the Sunday Laws, the School Laws, the Income Tax, and twenty other taxes that he must pay completely prevent him from doing as he likes with his own money.

Rich men are only the stewards of the poor man.

They have to provide him with bread, homes, roads, ships, railways, parks, music, schools, doctors, hospitals, and a large variety of other comforts and amusements.

Oh no! It is civilization.
