“The difference between a welfare state and a totalitarian state is a matter of time.” – Ayn Rand
“When you see that trading is done, not by consent, but by compulsion – when you see that in order to produce, you need to obtain permission from men who produce nothing – when you see that money is flowing to those who deal, not in goods, but in favors – when you see that men get richer by graft and by pull than by work, and your laws don’t protect you against them, but protect them against you – when you see corruption being rewarded and honesty becoming a self-sacrifice – you may know that your society is doomed.” – Ayn Rand
Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn’t pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same. Ronald Reagan
“Socialism is a philosophy of failure, The creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy. Its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.” Winston Churchill
● You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealth 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.
● You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it.
● 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. – Adrian Rogers
