Tu ne cede malis

Giving versus stealing. Without bragging (because you probably gave more than I), I gave to help the people suffering from the effects of Hurricane Katrina. But now the Congress and the President are taking money from me to give to the people of the Gulf Coast. (I'm not even going to get into "no-bid" contracts.) And that stinks. I feel like they are polutting my good freely-given money with money extracted from me (and probably my children) at bayonet point.
Giving versus stealing. I gave and now I am being plundered. Thieves and bloodsuckers. For the sake of their poll numbers my treasury is raided. For the sake of their compassion we are sold into bonded servitude.
