We have the right, as individuals, to give away as much of our own money as we please in charity; but as members of Congress we have no right so to appropriate a dollar of the public money. - David Crockett-the Life Of Colonel David Crockett, by Edward S. Ellis, published by Porter & Coates in 1884.

The full story (David Crockett, Charity, and Congress)

This story needs to be TATOOED on EVERY elected officials forehead BEFORE they take office.
