I remember this from several years ago.  Forgot about it, but a good reminder.

PLEASE DON'T SAY YOU DON'T HAVE TIME TO WATCH THIS.   SOMEDAY YOU MIGHT HAVE TOO MUCH TIME.
Look at this: 1948 Cartoon.  It is timeless and is just as true today as it was in 1948! 
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." -- Adrian Rogers, 1931
