"We have tried spending money. We are spending more than we have ever spent before and it does not work. And I have just one interest, and now if I am wrong somebody else can have my job. I want to see this country prosper. I want to see people get a job. I want to see people get enough to eat. We have never made good on our promises. I say after eight years of this administration, we have just as much unemployment as when we started. And enormous debt to boot."
Henry Morgenthau, May 1938, FDR's Treasury Secretary
The Liberal Progressive Movement has done very well at categorizing its citizens. The poor, the disenfranchised, the middle class, the conservative christian, pro/anti this, or pro/anti that, almost anyone can be subset into a any category EXCEPT:
An American..... Unity amongst citizens removes power from the gov't. Both parties are enabling a subsequent separation of one Nation Under God, and this is the result.
A polarized nation, with one bad choice for gov't, or one even worse choice for gov't.
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.

A people that values its privileges above its principles will soon lose both.
