You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity. 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 the beginning of the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it.—Adrian Rogers, (1931-2005)
These prescient words should be reflected upon. When my children were little and we would go on an automobile trip, long before the trip was done little voices would come from the back seat,"Are we there yet?" and "How much longer?" We are on this road that Adrian Rogers mapped so long ago. We need to get off or we will find Tyranny Rising!
