Once the principle of government is admitted, any notion of restraining government power is illusory. Even if, as liberals have proposed, a government limited its activities to the protection of existing private property rights, the question of how much security to produce would arise. Motivated by self-interest and the disutility of labor, but with the power to tax, a government agent's answer will invariably be the same: To maximize expenditures and to minimize production. The more money one can spend and the less one must work, the better off one will be.

Equality before the law and material equality are therefore not only different but are in conflict with each other; and we can achieve either one or the other, but not both at the same time.
- — F.A. Hayek
All cruelty springs from weakness.
- — Seneca
