You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the
wealthy out of prosperity . . . . What one person receives without
working for, another person must work for without receiving . . . . The
government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not
first take from somebody else . . . . When half of the people get the
idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to
take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does
no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work
for, that my dear friend, is the beginning of the end of any nation . .
. .You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it." - Adrian
Rogers, 1931

ReplyDeleteWhen your platform is to rob Peter to pay Paul,
ReplyDeleteyou can always count on Paul's vote. Trouble is, you eventually run out of Peters.
