– Edmund Burke (1729-1797) British statesman, parliamentary orator, and political thinker
“It is bad to be oppressed by a minority, but it is worse to be oppressed by a majority. For there is a reserve of latent power in the masses which, if it is called into play, the minority can seldom resist.” Lord Acton

I think it fits in well with the notion of the socialist elitist. Some of the people who are proposing welfare are not in need of it. They simply believe that they are ‘providing for the common good’ or some such noble cause. Sadly, what these people lack, is a firm grasp of history and the human wreckage socialism so often leaves in it’s wake.
