John H[_12_] January 9th 10 08:34 PM

Some good words...
 
Those of us that work (or have worked) for a living understand this!

"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*

It's a shame 'the poor' haven't figured this out yet. They keep
believing the promises made by liberals with one agenda - stay in
power, and get more of it.

"My reading of history convinces me that most bad government
results from too much government."

Worked for a living? You? You had a military sinecure, and then you were
a racist substitute teacher.

It's a shame that you don't actually understand the context of the quote.
