《荀子·大略》
赞许积聚钱财而把一无所有看作羞耻，加重人民的负担而惩处不堪负担的人，这是邪恶行为产生的根源，也是刑罚繁多的原因。
多积财而羞无有，重民任而诛不能，此邪行之所以起，刑罚之所以多也。
By applauding the hoarding of wealth while regarding poverty as shameful, and by imposing heavy burdens on the people while punishing those who are intolerant of this burden, the root of evil is nurtured and punishments become abundant.
