Profound Short Paragraph

I was on my facebook page and noticed on the sidebar where Nathan had commented on a friends page. I decided to look up what that friend had posted and found it to be so true and decided to print it here.

" 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 the government does not first take from someone 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 worked for, that my dear friend, is the beginning of the end of any nation. You cannot multipy wealth by dividing it."
