The trouble with socialism is that eventually you run out of other people’s money. — Margaret Thatcher T

Socialism fails when it run out of money of others.

Socialists are happy until they run out of other people's money.

And I will go on criticising Socialism, and opposing Socialism because it is bad for Britain (...) It’s the Labour Government that have brought us record peace-time taxation. They’ve got the usual Socialist disease – they’ve run out of other people’s money.

Socialism tends to destroy wealth. Socialism does this by draining
its vitality away. It does this by destroying the desirability of wealth

which community survival is always dependent in the end.
