“A recent poll showed that nearly half the American public believes that the government should redistribute wealth. That so many people are so willing to blithely put such an enormous and dangerous arbitrary power in the hands of politicians-\-\risking their own freedom, in hopes of getting what someone else has-\-\is a painful sign of how far many citizens and voters fall short of what is needed to preserve a democratic republic” PeopleShouldBelieveHandsGovernmentFallWealthHalfDangerousWillingNeededCitizensPoliticianDemocraticPainfulEnormousPreservesVotersRepublicArbitraryPollsDemocratic Republic Author:Thomas Sowell

“Our government should work for us, not against us. It should help us, not hurt us. It should ensure opportunity not just for those with the most money and influence, but for every American who's willing to work.

“A deadness occurs in relationships when people are no longer willing to tell each other how they really feel. When people first fall in love they're more willing to do this because they're still getting to know each other and dependency has not yet set in.

“My own take on it is that government will never adequately represent every person in the country. It can't. It's not possible. It's a multicultural, multifaceted society in which we live. The country, I think, thrives because it's willing to embrace many ideas at the same time, but once a decision is made you will be unpopular with many people. The business of our political leaders is to go ahead and make a decision and let the chips fall where they may. That's a very hard thing to do.” PeopleThinkingMayPersonsMadeIdeasCountryHardGovernmentPoliticalFallMy OwnDecisionLeaderWillingEmbraceThings To DoThriveChipsHard ThingsPolitical LeadersMulticultural Author:Kelsey Grammer
