These are possibly the 5 best sentences you'll ever read (Unfortunately, most American voters don't know this):

1. You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity, By legislating the wealth out of prosperity.

2. What one person receives without working for, Another person must work for without receiving.

3. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else.

4. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it.

5. 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 is the beginning of the end of any nation.











Then what the hell is Romney planning on doing to tear down socialism in America? Absolutely nothing? Does Romney plan to abolish government welfare? NO!

The word "greed" is tossed around so freely when speaking of conservatives, capitalists and Republicans. No one ever mentions the socialist/liberal counterpart......ENVY.

Here's a newsflash for you: no ideology works in its purest form. This includes conservative and right-wing ideology. This is why we have things like mixed economies.

Do you rely on social security or medicare by any chance? The VA? Those are all socialist programs. I take it you're advocating getting rid of those.

Lots of people are against 'government' unless its a program they happen to depend upon.

You need to provide some proof and an explanation to your accusation as this makes no sense

Churchill has gone down in history as one of the greatest statesmen ever. An absolute genious and credit to western civilization.
