The essence of the philosophy bureaucratism.
The written laws are in the eyes of the officials barriers erected for the protection of scoundrels against the fair claims of society. It would be fine for the society if the government can be beyond the law and execute the people at will. Bureaucrats must break human laws lest they violate a divine law.
The main difference between a policeman and a kidnapper and between a tax collector and a robber is that the policeman and the tax collector obey and enforce the law, while the kidnapper and robber violate it.
Within the framework of social cooperation every citizen depends on the services rendered by all his fellow citizens. For, under the division of labor, the structure of society rests on the shoulder of all men and women.
It's not in the power of the government to make everybody more prosperous.
