  3     II, VII |          being rich should become poor; for men of ruined fortunes
  4     II, IX  |       fall into the hands of very poor men, who, being badly off,
  5     II, IX  |          and some of them are too poor to afford the expense; thus
  6     II, IX  |          of popular. For the very poor can scarcely take part in
  7     II, IX  |          for he has made his city poor, and his citizens greedy.~
  8     II, XI  |           a man, they say, who is poor cannot rule well—he has
  9     II, XI  |          absurd to suppose that a poor and honest man will be wanting
 10    III, VIII|          the few; but what if the poor are fewer than the rich,
 11    III, VIII|         in which the many and the poor are the rulers—there will
 12    III, VIII|         the more numerous and the poor are the fewer, and both
 13    III, VIII|       everywhere are few, and the poor numerous. But if so, there
 14    III, VIII|          oligarchy, and where the poor rule, that is a democracy.
 15    III, VIII|          the rich are few and the poor many; for few are well-to-do,
 16    III, X   | disagreeable consequences. If the poor, for example, because they
 17    III, XI  |         for a state in which many poor men are excluded from office
 18    III, XII |         more composed entirely of poor men than entirely of slaves.
 19     IV, III |        must be some rich and some poor, and some in a middle condition;
 20     IV, III |          are heavy-armed, and the poor not. Of the common people,
 21     IV, III |           example the rich or the poor, or according to some principle
 22     IV, IV  |         the remaining 300 who are poor, but free, and in an other
 23     IV, IV  |            In like manner, if the poor were few and the masters
 24     IV, IV  |       when the free, who are also poor and the majority, govern,
 25     IV, IV  |        persons cannot be rich and poor at the same time. For this
 26     IV, IV  |           reason the rich and the poor are regarded in an especial
 27     IV, IV  |          few in number, while the poor are many, they appear to
 28     IV, IV  |           that it is just for the poor to have no more advantage
 29     IV, V   |           office is such that the poor, although they form the
 30     IV, VI  |           they all, including the poor who receive pay, and therefore
 31     IV, VI  |          state is governed by the poor, who are a majority, and
 32     IV, VIII|          unite the freedom of the poor and the wealth of the rich,
 33     IV, VIII|           to say, of the rich and poor, is to be called a polity
 34     IV, IX  |       serve as judges, and to the poor they give no pay; but in
 35     IV, IX  |  democracies they give pay to the poor and do not fine the rich.
 36     IV, IX  |    education. For the sons of the poor are brought up with with
 37     IV, IX  |      possible for the sons of the poor to be educated by them.
 38     IV, IX  |  distinction between the rich and poor. In like manner they all
 39     IV, IX  |         only such clothing as any poor man can afford. Again, the
 40     IV, XI  |           very rich, another very poor, and a third in a mean.
 41     IV, XI  |        the other hand who is very poor, or very weak, or very much
 42     IV, XI  |          the other hand, the very poor, who are in the opposite
 43     IV, XI  |         for they do not, like the poor, covet their neighbors’
 44     IV, XI  |       others covet theirs, as the poor covet the goods of the rich;
 45     IV, XI  |    classes who are either rich or poor, and to leave nothing in
 46     IV, XI  |          no middle class, and the poor greatly exceed in number,
 47     IV, XI  |       There is another reason—the poor and the rich quarrel with
 48     IV, XII |        than the well-born, or the poor than the rich, yet they
 49     IV, XII |           Where the number of the poor is more than proportioned
 50     IV, XII |          rich will unite with the poor against the rulers. For
 51     IV, XII |        this, for the rich and the poor will never consent to rule
 52     IV, XIII|         office upon oath, but the poor may. (3) In the law courts
 53     IV, XIII|         if they do not serve, the poor are let off with impunity,
 54     IV, XIII|          and a smaller one on the poor. In some states all citizen
 55     IV, XIII|           similar spirit. For the poor are not obliged to have
 56     IV, XIII|       penalty is inflicted on the poor for non-attendance at the
 57     IV, XIII|     counter devices. They pay the poor for attending the assemblies
 58     IV, XIII|        both, and provide that the poor should be paid to attend,
 59     IV, XIII|           no share in office, the poor, provided only that they
 60     IV, XIII|          gentle treatment for the poor is not an easy thing, since
 61     IV, XIII|            And in time of war the poor are apt to hesitate unless
 62     IV, XIV |       whereas in deinocracies the poor are paid to attend. And
 63     IV, XV  |          prevent the wives of the poor from going out of doors?
 64      V, III |        for example, the number of poor in democracies and in constitutional
 65      V, VII |         again, when some are very poor and others very rich, a
 66      V, VII |  democracy. This happens when the poor, under the idea that they
 67      V, VIII|         many, or the rich and the poor. Another way is to combine
 68      V, VIII|     Another way is to combine the poor and the rich in one body,
 69      V, VIII|           of the offices; for the poor will not want to have them
 70      V, VIII|          to take them; and so the poor will keep to their work
 71      V, VIII|       care should be taken of the poor, and lucrative offices should
 72      V, VIII|        equalized, and more of the poor rise to competency. It is
 73      V, VIII|         in a democracy and to the poor in an oligarchy) an equality
 74      V, IX  |        exist unless both rich and poor are included in it. If equality
 75      V, IX  |       luxury, but the sons of the poor are hardened by exercise
 76      V, XI  |          the people and keep them poor. Another practice of tyrants
 77      V, XI  |        consist of two classes, of poor men and of rich, the tyrant
 78      V, XII |           it unfair that the very poor should have an equal share
 79      V, XII |        rich, and the other of the poor. Is not this just as much
 80      V, XII |          into a democracy, if the poor form the majority; and a
 81      V, XII |          that the citizens become poor through dissipation and
 82     VI, II  |      therefore in a democracy the poor have more power than the
 83     VI, II  |         equality implies that the poor should have no more share
 84     VI, III |           to assign to a thousand poor men the property qualifications
 85     VI, III |           a state is composed—the poor and the rich—that is to
 86     VI, III |           are ten rich and twenty poor, and some measure is approved
 87     VI, III |     disapproved by fifteen of the poor, and the remaining four
 88     VI, III |        join with the party of the poor, and the remaining five
 89     VI, III |         the remaining five of the poor with that of the rich; in

 91     VI, IV  |      small portions that even the poor may have more than the amount
 92     VI, V   |        unpaid themselves when the poor are paid; and secondly,
 93     VI, V   |       distribute the surplus; the poor are always receiving and
 94     VI, V   |          see that they be not too poor, for extreme poverty lowers
 95     VI, V   |         and distributed among its poor, if possible, in such quantities
 96     VI, V   |         for the attendance of the poor at the necessary assemblies;
 97     VI, V   |   sensible nobility to divide the poor amongst them, and give them
 98     VI, V   |       their own property with the poor, they gain their good will.
 99     VI, VII |           to the rich than to the poor. But the light-armed and
100     VI, VII |           is the way in which the poor get the better of the rich
101     VI, VIII|         of women and children—the poor, not having any slaves,
102    VII, X   |        yet it is not easy for the poor to contribute the requisite
