Read this excerpt from thomas paine's essay "common sense"

distinctions of rich and poor, may in a great measure be accounted for, and that without having recourse* to the harsh, ill sounding
names of oppression and avaricel oppression is often the consequence, but seldom or never the means* of riches, and though
avarice* will preserve a man from being necessitously poor, it generally makes him too timorous* to be wealthy
but there is another and greater distinction, for which no truly natural or religious reason can be assigned, and that is, the distinction of
men into kings and subjects male and female are the distinctions of nature good and bad the distinctions of heaven, but how a race
of men came into the world to exalted above the rest, and distinguished like some new species, is worth inquiring into, and whether
they are the means of happiness or of misery to mankind
1*recourse: source of
2* avarice: greed
3* means method for accomplishing or obtaining something
