Someone sent me these five statements as part of an email. I thought they were worth passing along. The Obama administration is trying to prove all five of these wrong. We'll see . . . My money is on the wisdom of the statements. I fear this election has brought to light an uncomfortable fact about the United States today--we have changed from self-reliant to government-reliant.
1. You cannot legislate the poor into
prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity.
2. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving.
3. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else.
4. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it!
5. 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 is the beginning of the end of any nation.

Pretty simple stuff. A few years ago, most people would have agreed with these five statements. Not any longer.
