Who said democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not?

This quote is frequently cited by conservatives, who usually attribute it to Thomas Jefferson. But Jefferson scholars say he never made such a statement. More likely, it was uttered by conservative columnist Cal Thomas, in a column he wrote for a newspaper. (Before this response becomes political, it should be noted that erroneous quotes are used by politicians and pundits on both sides of the aisle. In many cases, the person using the quote is not aware that it is fake. Many quotes have been used so often that people genuinely believe they are accurate and are surprised to learn they are not.)
