Facebook post from a deranged person
Advertisements [?]
Found this on Facebook first thing this morning. I have known this person for a very long time and we argue constantly about everything. She is convinced that everyone is on welfare, disability, and unemployment for life. I get so mad at her I could scream...reason doesn't mean a thing to her.

These are possibly the 5 best sentences you'll ever read.

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.

I have tried everything I can think of to make her realize she is wrong. She works in the medical field and her response is always "I see it every day!"

Any suggestions? I am out of ideas, and frankly, blue in the face from trying to make her understand.
