If you do read the newspaper, you are misinformed"

You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity.

The Government cannot give to anybody anything that the Government does not first take from somebody else.

You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it.

And the best one, based on a saying throughout history........
"when half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half will take care of them, and the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because someone else is going to get what they worked for, that is the beginning of the end of a Nation".

“The trouble with Socialism is that eventually you run out of other people’s money” — Margaret Thatcher

Longer, actual quote from her. "I think they’ve made the biggest financial mess that any government’s ever made in this country for a very long time, and SOCIALIST GOVERNMENTS TRADITIONALLY DO MAKE A FINANCIAL MESS. THEY ALWAYS RUN OUT OF OTHER PEOPLE’S MONEY. It’s quite a characteristic of them. They then start to nationalise everything, and people just do not like more and more nationalisation, and they’re now trying to control everything by other means. They’re progressively reducing the choice available to ordinary people."
