When given the option of free money or hard-earned 
wages, many would blindly pick “free money” 
without realizing the price tag hidden behind 
that option.

00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:25,300
Benjamin Franklin knew this. He stated, “When 
the people find that they can vote themselves 
money, they will herald the end of the republic.”

00:00:25,400 --> 00:00:30,300
That’s why I want to remind you that government 
doesn’t have the ability to create wealth.

00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:39,800
They can only redistribute wealth from a 
third party in order to support their promises. 
This “free money” seems effective for a short 
while,

00:00:39,900 --> 00:00:45,200
but it doesn’t teach a pathway to increase 
or the reward for hard work.

00:00:45,300 --> 00:00:55,300
In other words, government can occasionally 
deliver short-term help, but is a bad long-term 
provider. I’m Mac Hammond, and this is the 
Winner’s Minute.
