You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it.
The government cannot give anything that it does not first take from someone.
You cannot legislate the poor into freedom by legislating the wealthy out of freedom.
For what one person receives without working, another person must work without receiving.
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 a nation.
