Tom Paine also wrote that “To inherit a government is to inherit The people, as if they were flocks and herds”.
And again: “All that the noble asks of me is that I recognise his superiority because of his birth, while the king requires my submission. I am amused by the noble; I feel like setting ny foot upon the king”.
Powerful stuff. I recommend his writing if you haven’t already tried it.
