THE PUBLIC

Cicero's (106 - 43 BC) was one of the most powerfully, persuasive people of his day. He had this to say about the public in 1st Century BC, Rome.

The poor: work and work,

The rich: exploit the poor,

The soldier: protects both,

The taxpayer: pays for all three,

The wanderer: rests for all four,

The drunk: drinks for all five,

The banker: robs all six,

The lawyer: misleads all seven,

The doctor: kills all eight,

The undertaker: buries all nine,

AND FINALLY

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