>>In the end they will lay their freedom at our feet, and say to us, "Make us your slaves, but feed us."
>>-- THE BROTHERS KARAMAZOV, by Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoevsky, 1879

Few would want to align themselves with somebody like the Grand Inquisitor who is being quoted here- which is why it seems strange that somebody who has read the book would keep producing such a cynical quote and apparently agreeing with it. But whatever.
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
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
