What a profound short little paragraph that says it all!!!

"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."

~~~~~ Dr. Adrian Rogers, 1931
