What Is Legal Plunder?
"But how is this legal plunder
to be identified? Quite simply. See if the law takes from some persons what belongs to them, and gives it to other persons
to whom it does not belong. See if the law benefits one citizen at the expense of another by doing what the citizen himself
cannot do without committing a crime.
Then abolish
this law without delay, for it is not only an evil itself, but also it is a fertile source for further evils because it invites
reprisals. If such a law — which may be an isolated case — is not abolished immediately, it will spread, multiply,
and develop into a system."
