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 am for doing good to the poor, but I differ in opinion of the means. I think the best way of doing good to the poor, is not making them easy in poverty, but leading or driving them out of it. In my youth I travelled much, and I observed in different countries, that the more public provisions were made for the poor, the less they provided for themselves, and of course became poorer. And, on the contrary, the less was done for them, the more they did for themselves, and became richer.

Benjamin Franklin

These are the founding principles. Principles of personal responsibility. People think they are entitled, even if they don't work for it. They're not. The government doesn't have the right to take my money and give it to my lazy ass neighbor. My neighbor needs to get off his butt and get a second job and a third if necessary. No one "owes" them anything.

Subiectul: Re:

Artful Dodger: Those are great quotes, Art. But how about when most of man's hard labor benefits the one he is working for, while only a fraction is left for himself? And how about when that fraction becomes smaller & smaller, due to the political & economic maneuverings & advantageous position of the owner?
