5 simple truths

[pescatore]

There are five simple truths that the president must know but somehow refuses to govern by:



1. You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity.


2. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving.


3. The government cannot give to anyone anything that the government does not first take from somebody else.


4. When half the people get the idea that they don't 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.


5. You can't multiply wealth by dividing it.


Some might say that we must take care of the poor, and that is right, but it's the duty of charities, churches and giving people to do that, not the government and politicians who often use the poor to look good and buy their votes to stay in power.


I believe we are on the verge of a peaceful revolution and the working taxpayers are waking up to political leaders who are working only for themselves and not for working Americans.

Pestacore for me those five simple truths resonates very well along with my admiration of the Constitution as written and think it should be reaffirmed and upheld to its original intents by its exceptional founders. It was a document of restraint on the government that fully recognizes that the protections of individual rights were the government’s fundamental obligation and purpose to function.

I am curious as to the thoughts on those truths from our progressives and lefty liberal DO-GOODER EXTRADINAR’s that always and invariably violates individual rights when their silly ideas of more government controls and less freedoms are advocated. Their silly ideas are always justified because of their ‘good intentions and it makes them feel good’ even though those ideas have been tried elsewhere and before and have always ended up as tragic failures. And now at this time they think it will work!
