They are all more or less unthrifty taxes that increase the revenue of the sovereign, which seldom maintains any but unproductive labourers, at the expense of the capital of the people, which maintains none but productive.

它们或多或少都是不节俭的税收，增加了主权国家的收入，而主权国家很少维持任何非生产性劳动者的收入，却以牺牲人民的资本为代价，人民的资本只维持生产性劳动。
