The late Dr. Adrian Rogers (1931 to 2005) offered the following observation several years ago and it bears poignant significance today:
"You cannot legislate the poor into freedom by legislating the rich out of freedom. What one person receives without working for, another person must work without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything 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 about the end of any nation.

You cannot multiply the wealth by dividing it."

IMHO, We're slowly starting down that slippery slope. I'm really interested how BH0 handles the G20. I think his time as the world's "rock star" is about to come crashing down like the Hindenburgh.
