"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 - 2005
