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.

Who can look a gift horse in the mouth? Takes more then when we think to turn it down... like they don’t know someone has to pay.And they don’t know they are being led, not helped. Its easy to take the gift. Lots of folks will be hurt by reality the truth hurts, but the end result is freedom.And God is in control do you believe? We cannot tax more and must stop spending more then we take in.
Heres mine: Dont crush that dwarf,hand me the pliers.
“For what one person receives without working, another must work without receiving.”
