"Distinctions in society will always exist under every just government. Equality of talents, of education, or of wealth can not be produced by human institutions. In the full enjoyment of the gift of Heaven and the fruits of superior industry, economy, and virtue, every man is equally entitled to protection by law... the rich as well as the poor. He believed the government should not punish the wealthy by taking from them because others were envious of their success." Andrew Jackson

"The main policy or main flaw with socialism, aside from running out of somebody else's money at some point, is that we're not the same and we're not equal. There is no such thing as fairness. Fairness is always arbitrary depending on who has the power to define it, and there certainly is no equality. There's equality of opportunity, equality of chance, equality before the law, but these people talke about equality in terms of outcomes, and there's no such thing." -- Rush Limbaugh

"If you took all the money in the world and doled it out so that everyone had an equal share, within five years those who were rich would be rich again, and those who were poor would be poor again." Robert J. Bottrell I

"We have been frustrated over the Republican Party's failure to stop Obama or even try to stop Obama. There has been no push-back... There have been two midterm elections where a vast majority of the American people showed up to vote with one message: 'Stop this! Fix This! Do not let any more of this go on!' The Republican Party campaign said, 'Yep, we hear you. We'll stop it." Then they make meaningless gestures after they win the election." Rush Limbaugh, Oct. 26, 2015

"We are gonna be in a constitutional crisis as long as there are leftists, because the Constitution is their obstacle. The Constitution is what's standing in their way of getting where they want to go." Rush Limbaugh, Nov. 22, 2016
