This covers some ground

[Jo McDonald]

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

Good one Jo.  Very true indeed.
