An age old system of corruption that is still prevalent to this day.

Cicero, of the Roman Empire, truly an astute politician wrote this about the situation during his lifetime.

1: The poor, work & work.

2: The rich, exploit the poor.

3: The soldier, protects both.

4: The taxpayer, pays for all three.

5: The wanderer, rests for all four.

6: The drunk, drinks for all five.

7: The banker, robs all six.

8: The lawyer, misleads all seven.

9: The doctor, bills all eight.

10: The undertaker, buries all nine.

11: The Politician lives happily on account of all ten.
