A Pastor, on Economics   

*  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.

               - the late Adrian Rogers
