Here yet is something someone sent me that I found very interesting and wanted to share. We face such tough economic times that everyone seems to be trying to ‘fix’ but to what cost to the country? You might find this as interesting as I did.
Though Dr. Rogers said it in 1984, his words are so relevant to what we are facing in America today. In fact, it was even read and posted in the Congressional Record by Congressman Steve King from the state of Iowa on January 14, 2009.
Dr. Rogers is quoted:
“Friend, you cannot legislate the poor into freedom by legislating the wealthy out of freedom. And what one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving. The government can’t give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody. And when half of the people get the idea they don’t have to work because the other half’s going to take care of them, and when the other half get the idea it does no good to work because some body’s going to get what I work for. That, dear friend, is about the end of any nation.”
