“The poor have been rebels, but they have never been anarchists; they
have more interest than anyone else in there being some decent
government. The poor man really has a stake in the country. The rich man
hasn’t; he can go away to New Guinea in a yacht. The poor have
sometimes objected to being governed badly; the rich have always
objected to being governed at all. Aristocrats were always anarchists.”
(G. K. Chesterton, The Man Who Was Thursday)
