Wealth by division

"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 anybodyanything 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 goingto 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

A more appropro statement may never be more profound, especially during this era of socialism as evidenced by Obama's statement about health care. He believes that America cannot afford to not have a nationalized health care system, but upon examination what we find is that by taking from some to give to others, we create a system in which no one benefits and everyone is adversely affected. It's called SOCIALISM and it does not work!
