Thank you to one of my loyal readers who sent in the notes below about why Socialism inevitably fails. I think he’s got a good point.

1.   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.You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it!

 5. 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 is the beginning of the end of any nation.

Gibber! Gibber!
