"You cannot bring 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 help the poor by destroying the rich. You cannot build character and courage by taking away a man's initiative and independence. You cannot help men permanenty by doing for them what they could and should do for themselves."
- Sir Abraham Lincoln
who says you have to destroy the rich??????????????? thats some bs who ever believed in that. it's corruption
you guys say "you have to destroy the rich!" You are the ones who are wanting to redistribute the wealth, ie destroying the rich.
"We cannot wait for governments to do it all. Globalization operates on Internet time. Governments tend to be slow moving by nature, because they have to build political support for every step."
Lincoln never said any of that. Google it.
However, guess who helped put an End to slavery.
-Sir Abraham Lincoln
Abraham Lincoln never said these things.
They were written by a Presbyterian minister named Rev. William John Henry Boetcker in 1916.
He wrote: ....
He was a very smart man. Everything he said is very true, even almost one hundred years later.
so you say everything that this "very smart man is very true" but yet you are arguing on the side as a left wing liberal by posting on this forum. which makes me question do you really know what you and everyone else is arguing for/about?
I have no idea where you get this notion that I must be arguing on the side as a liberal just by posting on this forum.
