Southern Baptist or not.......there's a lot of common sense there.

Gee, are you referring to the anti-welfare quote, or the pro-slavery quote???

Pro slavery quote? What are you smoking?

If anyone is a slave to anyone, it is those who work for a living, paying taxes for the entitlements of those who are sitting on their collective *sses. Look around....they're everywhere.

I don't mind paying taxes for things like medicare, social security, and the like....but I see so much abuse of the system (I'm in KY). I've about had it up to here (my eyeballs).

Slavery is not at issue here. I'm referring to the common sense of the statement, not to philosophy of the man who wrote it. Financial sense is just not that common anymore. The quote was:
“You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that 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 the beginning of the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it."*

I know that my donations to the local food bank help people who lost their jobs.
Often they work at a minimum wage or slightly higher.
I've been told by that getting the rice & beans, TP, and such made it possible to make a house payment or rent.

No wealth but a home and fodd for the family.

I don't smoke anything.
