During this political season let’s be reminded of these wise words.

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.

Abraham Lincoln

[er2006]

Abraham Lincoln would not recognize this country's political climate of giving to those who refuse to work, or control their violent criminal behaviour.

Thanks, this OP speaks volumes !
