I read this in a Louisiana Family Forum email and loved it. What do you think?

“Stop asking the government for ‘free’ goods and services, however desirable and necessary they may seem to be. They are not free. They are simply extracted from the hide of your neighbors – and can be extracted only by force. If you would not confront your neighbor and demand his money at the point of a gun to solve every new problem that may appear in your life, you should not allow the government to do it for you.” –William E. Simon, U.S. Sec. of Treasury, 1974-77
