"... They ne'er cared for us

crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more

the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
