Well, why not take advantage of the guy? He's taking plenty of advantage of you, after all.
"I enjoy democracy immensely. It is incomparably idiotic, and hence incomparably amusing. Does it exalt dunderheads, cowards, trimmers, frauds, cads?

Then so is every other form of government: all alike are enemies to laborious and virtuous men."
