Ah, the wisdom of our Founding Fathers

The further we get away from what they taught concerning limited government and personal liberty, the more pathetic we become as a nation....

I think the best way of doing good to the poor, is not making them easy in poverty, but leading or driving them out of it. In my youth I traveled much, and I observed in different countries, that the more public provisions were made for the poor, the less they provided for themselves, and of course became poorer.

Yep. It takes about a 2nd grade education to understand that. As some profess themselves to be wise, they become fools.
