Shiri, you're a woman--you have no place in a discussion of white male
rule. Take off your shoes and return to the kitchen, please.
(the preceding draconian chauvinism was brought
to us on the basis that Shiri has repeatedly
demonstrated her ability to take (as well as
give) a joke) 8^)

You're paraphrasing G K Chesterton, who observed that "The poor object to
being governed badly, while the rich object to being governed at all." It's
basically a difference of "I'm badly enough off already; don't make it worse
by bad government" vs. "I'm doing very well for myself; don't screw it up by
presuming to govern me."
Dave!
