One of our Founders pointed out the following:
‘The government cannot give to one American without first taking from another American’.
This truism should be reflected in both the headline and the content of the article. And this principle should be acknowledged in every political speech as well.
That was Pastor Adrian Rogers who said that. Here’s his entire quote...
“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.”
The benefit to the progressive movement and Obama's socialist agenda for America is that when they rob Peter to pay Paul they gain control over both Peter and Paul.
