You ain't Abe Lincoln

[Mr. Conservatism]

So I said to him, "Barack, I know Abe Lincoln, and you ain't Abe Lincoln."


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 people's initiative and independence.

You cannot help people permanently by doing
for them, what they could and should do for
themselves.

.....Abraham
Lincoln
