“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 *
