I COULDN'T HAVE SAID IT BETTER

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

Adrian Rogers, 1931


We need to stop Cap and Trade, or Cap and Spend as I like to call it, forget about health care and any other programs we can't afford to pay for. Eliminate wasteful government spending and overburdening U.S. citizens with ever increasing taxes. Let people keep more of what they earn, not less. Then you have the incentive for prosperity.
