He's in prison. See the handcuffs? The quotation is a slightly altered version of the words Henry David Thoreau spoke to his friend, Ralph Waldo Emerson when Emerson came to visit Thoreau in jail, who was incarcerated for refusing to pay taxes that were to fund the Mexican-American War in the 1840s.

Read up on it. If you don't understand history, you'll be victimized by those who do. Knowledge is power.
You can read Thoreau's classic work, "Civil Disobedience" here [link] complete with annotations.
