The point to remember is what government gives it must first

Summary

This quote highlights the underlying principle that in order for governments to provide for their citizens, they must inevitably take away resources, such as taxes or certain rights, from the individuals. It reflects the idea that the provision of public services or welfare programs ultimately relies on the redistribution of wealth or authority from the people to the government. Furthermore, it emphasizes the need for citizens to critically evaluate the balance between what they give up and what they receive from their government.
