The Simple Truth on Financial Legislation

Posted in Rants & Thoughts on June 24, 2011

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 is the beginning of the end of any nation.

    First off, the conditions that made corporations rich is due to the legislation government took. After that, those who wanted to maintain their lips puckered up to the tit of government, decided they could infiltrate government and start handing out even more goodies their friends and families. Now that Republican (who have been professing conservative fiscal policies) have failed to hold spending down and borrowed more than ever to make government bigger, they again stand in the way of real progress – think priming the pump – to get the water flowing, this has to be done properly. But republicans, because they want Obama to fail, have insisted that every bit of spending be done in moderation – the exact opposite of what is called for to get people working again. Add to that the cheapskate policies on education, and now wonder half the population want to opt out of being wage slaves. I could go on, but thanks so much for your safari sorting app.
