Five statements of WISDOM
1. You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity, by legislating the wealth 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 my dear friends, is the beginning of the end of any nation.

Not too far from true.  Hell I heard yesterday they are throwing around the idea of a tax on fast food to help pay for health care.

I know fast food isn't healthy, but I'm an American for fucks sake. If I want to eat a Whopper every once in a while, I'm going to do it and I shouldn't be penalized by the government for it. Are they going to tax food at the Chinese restaurants as well? That shit is really high in sodium and calories.
