Abraham Lincoln on socialism (ie. the Obama initiative)
Submitted by kdalons on Sun, 08/09/2009 - 14:34.
Abraham Lincoln once said: - You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich.
- You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong.
- You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift.
- You cannot lift the wage earner up by pulling the wage payer down.
- You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred.
- You cannot build character and courage by taking away men's initiative and independence.
- You cannot help men permanently by doing for them, what they could and should do for themselves.
