Somebody want to forward this to the O?

Abraham Lincoln,
‘You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift. You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong. You cannot help the wage earner by pulling down the wage payer. You cannot further the brotherhood of many by encouraging class hatred. You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich. You cannot keep out of trouble by spending more than you earn. You cannot build character and courage by taking away mans initiative and independence. You cannot help men permanently by doing for them what they could and should do for themselves.’



Listen to your "betters" Mr President. They had more sense and morals.

Hrm, I posted this somewhere else and got smacked down. Apparently President Lincoln did not write that. Oh well, very good words anyway.

Well, I don't care who wrote it, it's true and should be a lesson to the marxist in office.

No argument there.
