FIVE BEST QUOTES
1. You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity, by legislating the wealthy 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!
Can you think of a reason for not sharing this?
