Five sentences to consider.

Published:

From an E-mail:

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 and sit around protesting 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.

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

"I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them." ~ Thomas Jefferson~

"We should measure welfare's success by how many people leave welfare, not by how many are added." ~Ronald Reagan~

"Government does not solve problems; it subsidizes them." ~Ronald Reagan~

"Welfare's purpose should be to eliminate, as far as possible, the need for its own existence." ~Ronald Reagan~

"By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail." ~Benjamin Franklin~

"The U.S. Constitution doesn't guarantee happiness, only the pursuit of it. Your have to catch up with it yourself." ~Benjamin Franklin~

"When a government takes over a people's economic life it becomes absolute, and when it has become absolute it destroys the arts, the minds, the liberties and the meaning of the people it governs." Maxwell Anderson

"Once the government becomes the supplier of people's needs, there is no limit to the needs that will be claimed as a basic right." ~Lawrence Auster~

"I can find no warrant for such an appropriation in the Constitution, and I do not believe that the power and duty of the general government ought to be extended to the relief of individual suffering which is in no manner properly related to the public service or benefit. Federal aid in such cases encourages the expectation of paternal care on the part of the government and weakens the sturdiness of our national character, while it prevents the indulgence among our people of that kindly sentiment and conduct which strengthens the bonds of a common brotherhood." ~Grover Cleveland~

"Repeal that [welfare] law, and you will soon see a change in their manners." ~Benjamin Franklin~

"A society that puts equality...ahead of freedom will end up with neither equality nor freedom." ~Milton Freedman~

"A government that is big enough to give you all you want is big enough to take it all away." ~Barry Goldwater~

If you have a society that robs from Peter to pay Paul, you can always count on the support of Paul    --George Bernard Shaw

The takers don't care, they feel they deserve others people money, they deserve the very best with little or no effort to obtain it. The hide behind a mask of poverty , a piss poor excuse for not earning their keep.
Most I have seen have no gratitude for those who get up and toil away , only to have more and more taken from them , via big government greed, most will support the greediest polititions of all, because it becomes easier to justify their own theft on their fellow man.
Right now I am watching the food stamp debacle unfold for Christmas, they are now coming into the store, asking the workers to go get them this , go get them that, they offer no help unloading their carts, and then they want carry out. They don't even want to look for bread, milk or eggs, they now depend on the stockers to do it all for them, this puts our man hours way over limit, this will cause a price increase somewhere.
They enjoy holding our jobs over our heads, who in the f*** to they think pays for the welfare they enjoy.
And, they do enjoy it, they pull up in the most expensive cars , vans, trucks, they are dripping with gold, fancy hairdos, fresh manicured nails. not my idea of poverty stricken. The best clothes money can buy, then these f***-heads, have the audacity to look down on us, and act like they got the power to make or break our lively hoods.
Go ahead and call corporate, call the news , call the aflcio, naacp, humane society, we don't give 2 s**ts anymore, our stories will get out there and the gig will be up.
I hope your prime rib falls on the floor and the   dog gets it.

Sully16 , I am going to say what any reasonable person on this website would say that's not dripping with hate of Blacks or minority. You truly need to be reported, you are suddenly not treating people and I did say people food with the kind of proper handling that should be conducted in your work place. I say if you can 't get that half green eye monster from ingredients you are made of you need to find a job that won't leave you sounding like a maddog foaming                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       at the mouth.By the way have you seen "THE HELP" if not make it your business to rent it . It may enlighten you, not that I care about people as your self rants. I don't think people foods are safe around you.If not hidding behind the name sully16 ,I wonder what your employer would say if they had a chance to review your writing here on the lottery post. You have a serious problem working with the public or may I say working with the poor. Get over it! Black folks always dress better than whites, what else is news. It's only been lately that any of your people of choice have had the nerves to dress fancy as you would say. I sometime wonder, how do you people sleep at night with so much hate. You suppose to be an American Indian, they had nothing against the Blacks.You sound like the blondiest blue eye white supremacy I have had the unfortunately opportunity to hear.

Well,Louise, I am sick of my tax dollars supporting people who are capable of supporting themselves, but choose not to, I don't care what color they are,I never mentioned the color of these people at all, you did. Your the one who is assuming it's black folks, so I guess that makes you the racist foaming at the mouth like a maddog.
For your information, most of us at my workplace are minorities and we are all sick of the fraud, the laziness and the attitudes of these people.
It will never be okay for the government to take my money and give it to someone else, who thinks they deserve the best life as to offer without giving any effort into getting it for themselves.
I am also really sick of you throwing the race card around,
Blacks always dress better than whites ? That statement alone tells me how racist you are.
Let me know when you make as much money as me and my husband, and someone takes it away and gives it to someone else who has no desire to get up and go to work, how you feel about it.
I am sure it's you I am helping to support, so yeah I guess you feel entitled to my things, maybe you can come over and help yourself to my pantry since I have more you most certainly deserve it.
And one last thing, just because I am a minority doesn't mean I am owed anything extra, history is just that, history.
my parents raised us to stand on our own 2 feet and not grovel and beg for handouts. I am responsible for taking care of myself, no one else. If I ever used the excuse for being Indian to get something I didn't earn my ancestors would be ashamed.

And one more thing idiot, don't put words in my mouth again, I treat people very well, and would never endanger anyone, no matter how little I think of them, I feel sorry for people who are truly poverty stricken, and who have been truly dealt a bad hand, I have compassion , but it stops when I am forced to support those who don't even try, or have found ways to manipulate a system so they can have it all at someone elses expense. I will never be happy about supporting lazy loafers no matter what their color, and I have seen spread throughout a diverse racial make-up of people.

Sully16 let's put your boogie bear to bed your taxes are not during Sh-- for me. I work and have worked all my life just as my parents the hardest kind of work for my parents and said I would always work smart and not hard with my hands and that exactly what I did, so get off your soap box and taking care of me that you will never do so that you put to bed. Because I have compassion for people and I mean all people no matter how uneducated ,poor,color of their skin,or the ethnic background, you say I am a racist that nothing farest from the truth.I am not a hater and that is what some of you people are . It can be disturbing that people in these hard time can be so critical of others. Why aren't you just thankful you have a job, that you say "pays very good money " other don't have that luxury. Oh! by the way you gave yourself away when you talk about fancy hair dos and all that other stereotype crap.Until you go home with these people and live with them, do yourself a favor and stop commenting on that you know nothing of .Just like you judging me and don't have a clue to what I am about, but that I am very compassion when it come to people.Please ! Black people for example : goes to church dress as through their on the red carpet and for the others their dress in jeans wow! who"s the racist just facts my dear.You know that I know ,I can't be a racist,because the numbers don't add up. Good day!

Sully16 , you need to be mindful of who you call an idiot , one thing I can be proud that I am not an idiot. So you listen chose your words carefully, because I will not be your idiot. So you need not use that word when addressing me. I said you sound like a white supremacy, I didn't say you was one and I do stand by the fact "YOU ARE A HATER". Why would the NAACP be involve if you wasn't talking about Black people,as some of you say they only defend Black people. Maybe we should read the rules or do you just think the administraters are only talking to the Dems.or Libs.on this site.Oh! Sully16 don't you get a handout, oh my bad I meant to say a check every three month by way of the monies pay out to the Indians in this country for lost of way of their life.That you get whether you work or not.

You have to admit what sully says is true, Louise.

How can you dispute the following:
