For instance, should a legislator, wishing to impose a new tax, choose that which would be theoretically the most just? By no means. In practice the most unjust may be the best for the masses. Should it at the same time be the least obvious, and apparently the least burdensome, it will be the most easily tolerated. It is for this reason that an indirect tax, however exorbitant it be, will always be accepted by the crowd, because, being paid daily in fractions of a farthing on objects of consumption, it will not interfere with the habits of the crowd, and will pass unperceived 去书内

    例如,一个立法者,希望征收一种新税,应该选择理论上最公正的吗?绝对不是。在实践中,最不公正的可能是对大众最好的。如果它同时是最不明显的,显然是最不繁重的,它将是最容易容忍的。正是由于这个原因,间接税不管多高,总是为群众所接受的,因为它是每天在消费品上以一分钱的零头支付的,不会影响群众的习惯,也不会被察觉
