The law, in its majestic equality, forbids the rich as well as the poor to sleep under bridges, to beg in the streets, and to steal bread. -Anatole France, novelist, essayist, Nobel laureate (1844-1924)
Perhaps an illustration of the limitations of the abstract principle of complete equality basic to advanced liberalism. The rich and the poor should not always be treated equally. Sometimes there should be be preference for the poor.
