Arthashastra
क्षीणाः पीडन उच्छेदन भयात् सद्यः संधिं युद्धं निष्पतनं वा रोचयन्ते ॥
An impoverished people are ever apprehensive of oppression and destruction (by over-taxation, etc.), and are therefore desirous of getting rid of their impoverishment, or of waging war or of migrating elsewhere.
english translation
