------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "You cannot legislate the poor into freedom by legislating the wealthy out
of freedom.  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 about the end of any nation.  You
cannot multiply wealth by dividing it."

Don't know who to attribute this to but it is so true.
