#1 From The Forgotten Man by Amity Shlaes.

As soon as A observes something which seems to him to be wrong, form which X is surrering, A talks to B, and A and b then propose to get a law passed to remedy the evil and help X. Their law always proposes to determine what C shall do for X, or in the better case, what A,B, and C shall do for X... What I want to do is to look up C. I want to show you what manner of man he is. I call him the Forgotten Man. Perhaps the appellation is not strictly correct. He is the man who never is thought off...
He works, he votes, generally he prays - but he always pays....

William Grahm Sumner
Yale University, 1883

#2 "Thou Shall Not Covet"

But that is the main stay of the Obama campaign, to take from the small business that finally succeeds and gives it to those who won't even try.

An American Creed

I Do Not Choose to Be a Common Man

It is my right to be uncommonif I can.

I seek opportunitynot security. I do not wish to be a kept citizen, humbled and dulled by having the state look after me.

I want to take the calculated risk; to dream and to build, to fail and to succeed.

I refuse to barter incentive for a dole. I prefer the challenges of life to the guaranteed existence; the thrill of fulfillment to the stale calm of utopia.

I will not trade freedom for beneficence nor my dignity for a handout. I will never cower before any master nor bend to any threat.

It is my heritage to stand erect, proud and unafraid; to think and act for myself, enjoy the benefit of my creations and to face the world boldly and say, This I have done.
