1. You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity.
2. What one person receives without working for it, another person must work for it 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 worked for, that is the beginning of the end of any nation.

1) You can not put our complex Economy into a box.
2) You can not put broad policies and programs into a box.

"The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not."

"A government big enough to give you everything you want, is a government big enough to take away everything that you have."

"Democracy is nothing more than mob rule, where 51% of the people may take away the rights of the other 49%."

-Thomas Jefferson

You really are suppose to provide a citation for your quotes, instead of pretending that these are your thoughts.

All the Obama supporters know this....
but since a huge portion of
them don't work, don't wanna work
& yet still they get rewarded
with freebies for not working-
they're ok with it.

Party politics is an inanity in the scope of today's issues.

But have fun believing this is a spectator sport.
