《韩非子·显学》
现在君主向富足的人家征收财物去散给贫穷的人家，这是夺来勤俭节约者的财物而送给奢侈懒惰的人；这样还想督促民众努力耕作，省吃俭用，就根本办不到了。
今上征敛于富人以布施于贫家，是夺力俭而与侈堕也，而欲索民之疾作而节用，不可得也。
Nowadays, the ruler collects wealth from the rich to distribute to the poor, which is taking from the thrifty and giving to the extravagant and lazy; in this way, it is impossible to motivate the people to work hard and save money.
