Thoughts from Benjamin Franklin

"I am for doing good to the poor, but I differ in opinion of the means. I think the best way of doing good to the poor, is not making them easy in poverty, but leading or driving them out of it. In my youth I travelled much, and I observed in different countries, that the more public provisions were made for the poor, the less they provided for themselves, and of course became poorer. And, on the contrary, the less was done for them, the more they did for themselves, and became richer."

This is the blessing of Capitalism and the curse of Socialism or Communism. Those Occupiers will never understand the truth what made this country so great. What the American Experiment meant to so many people though out the world and now they are disgusted on how much change has happen since out Founding. Never forget the truth.
