The art of government

consists of taking as much money as possible from one party of citizens

to give to the other

Henri Fourrier, President/CEO/Director of Marketing/Communications
Greensboro Area Convention & Visitors Bureau

The same Henri Fourrier

who sold Greensboro’s electorate on an Aquatic Center

with a non-independent, non third party “hypothetical”

that will most likely cost Greensboro millions

in principal, interest, operating and maintenance costs?

Why would the “Consultant”

who created a $14,337,210 hypothetical economic impact “projection,”

say only debt free competitive swim centers work?

because it is the merger of state and corporate power

A democracy will continue to exist

up until the time that voters discover

that they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury

From that moment on

the majority always votes for the candidates

who promise the most benefits…

with the result that every democracy

will finally collapse due to loose fiscal policy…

…nations always progressed through the following sequence

From bondage to spiritual faith

from spiritual faith to great courage

from courage to liberty, from liberty to abundance

from abundance to complacency

from complacency to apathy

from apathy to dependence

from dependence back into bondage
