giving-up mean community
The communitarians may say you've been enjoying too much individual freedom, and that you must give up some of that for the benefit of the community. But they really mean that they want more power over your life - to force you to subsidize, obey and conform to their choices.
giving want being-the-best
You owe it to yourself to be the best person possible. Because if you are, others will want to be with you, want to provide you with the things you want in exchange for what you're giving to them.
meaningful people giving
When people do things for you, it's because they want to - because you, in some way, give them something meaningful that makes them want to please you, not because anyone owes you anything.
compassion giving liberty
It's wrong for someone to confiscate your money, give it to someone else, and call that "compassion."
libertarian-party government giving
You can't give the government the power to do good without also giving it the power to do bad - in fact, to do anything it wants.
fighting government giving
Give government the weapons to fight your enemy and it will use them against you.
years government giving
It isn't possible to give government just a little control over the economy and our lives. Once we cede that power to government, it uses the power to take more from us. That's why every year the government controls more of our lives.
giving-up over-you gains
When you give up the hope that some advisor, some system, some source of inside tips is going to give you a shortcut to wealth, you'll finally begin to gain control over your financial future.
running giving-up cancer
Government is a parasite-a cancer that by nature tries to spread deeper into society. Those who want to run others' lives won't give up and start minding their own business.
giving important politics
It's important to realize that whenever you give power to politicians or bureaucrats, it will be used for what they want, not for what you want.
compassion people giving
In my experience, people who are truly compassionate rarely use the word "compassion." Those who do talk compassion generally intend to be compassionate with your money, not their own. It's wrong for someone to confiscate your money, give it to someone else, and call that 'compassion'.
thinking giving politician
When you give politicians the power to do what you think is right you're automatically giving politicians the power to do what you think is wrong.
giving political today
Give politicians power and it certainly will be abused eventually - if not by today's politicians, then by their successors.
dry unusual wind
The wind just hindered us today, to be honest. As dry as it is, it's not unusual at all.
