Five good thoughts for the caring citizen…
1. You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy 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.
One of the defining American traits, a strong work ethic, has been eroded over the last few decades..what a tragedy. Accompanying traits include a strong desire to be independent and personally responsible.
These traits helped to build the strongest most productive nation on earth. We became the envy of the world and a place of inspiration for others. people from more oppressive countries still want to come here and will do anything to get and stay here.
Unfortunately those who subscribe to the socialist model and open borders will do anything to undermine our principles and values even though it means we are a weaker nation for it. A weak nation, overwhelmed by needy illegal dependent migrant invasion, will not be the go to nation for long.
Wouldn’t it be smarter to inspire others to claim their independence and freedom in their own nations as many in other nations have done?
Any nation is only as strong as it’s weakest link.
Tim Scott’s and Trey Gowdy’s Face the Nation interview is worth watching if you missed it.
