The late great Archie Bunker on democRATs.

Even celebrities can occasionally have cogent thoughts.

"You know the difference between a communist and a democratic socialist?" "A democratic socialist is somebody you vote for, and then they take all your money and give back what they think you need. A communist — they just appoint themselves. There's no election and they do the exact same thing. That's the only difference."-Jon Lovitz

!.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. 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.

5. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it.
