Friends
“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 somebody’s
Going to get what I work for...
That, dear friend, is about
The end of any nation.”
Dr. Adrian Rogers

--that the bottom 50 percent of all tax filers have an average income of $15,292.
--that this same group has no net worth at all (assets minus debts)
--that the top 20 percent have$11.5 trillion of income, and $53 trillion of net worth.
--that the richest country in history also has the most unequal sharing of wealth history.
--that rich and poor had equal talents, equal intelligence, equal love of country and equal love of God.
--that most wealth is inherited, directly or indirectly.
--that wealth is the cause of poverty.
--that if the rich shared just $1 trillion of their wealth, the bottom 50 percent’s income would double. All 70 million of them.
Oh, my mistake. Dr. Rogers does know. He is in heaven, where the truth is known to all.
