I was reading Robert Frost and I saw this. He doesn't like government planners and do gooders. I especially like the term "beneficent beasts of prey." Robert Frost recognized the evils of government benefits and dependency.
It is in the news that all these pitiful kin
Are to be bought out and mercifully gathered in
To live in villages, next to the theatre and the store,
Where they won’t have to think for themselves anymore,
While greedy good-doers, beneficent beasts of prey,
Swarm over their lives enforcing benefits
That are calculated to soothe them out of their wits,
And by teaching them how to sleep they sleep all day,
Destroy their sleeping at night the ancient way.
From Roadside Stand
