Five Things Democrats Don't Understand



 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.

  1. I don't understand where Republicans get the misguided idea that the needy are selfish loafs just trying to cheat the hard-working out of their hard-earned cash. The paradigm is false, arrogant, and presumptuous. Some aphorisms of my own. 1. You do multiply wealth by generosity and giving. 2. Giving to the poor does not rob the wealthy of prosperity because no one expects another to give to the point of his own poverty. 3. Government can give us men on the moon, electricity in Tennessee, or our national security that adds necessarily to our collective good. Come on, Doug. If you don't believe in the power of government to do good, then you should not involve yourself in politics.

  2. >> 1. You do multiply wealth by generosity and giving.

    Taxation is *not* "giving".
    Quite the contrary it is instead the confiscation of personal property.

  3. .....All five of these things are the same. And yet, that one thing is still an overwhelmingly selfish and invalid point.
