"You cannot legislate the poor into freedom by legislating the wealthy
out of freedom.
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 about the end of
any nation. You
cannot multiply wealth by dividing it."

~~~~~ Dr. Adrian Rogers, 1931 - 2005 ~~~~~

Stocks slumped today, with the Dow ending at a 3-month low,
as the government's bank rescue plan failed to reassure investors
burned by the 14-month old recession. The Dow Jones industrial
average lost 382 points, or 4.6 percent, according to early tallies.
The bailout plan "was a huge disappointment," one economist said.
