Janet Collins, Linda Hamilton and all the rest of the left-wing screaming socialists out there:
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 should be doing for themselves.
- Abraham Lincoln
It's just as true today as it was 150 years ago. You think the history of this nation is bad, try digging into the history of any other nation on this planet. The USSR collapsed because it doesn't work. Never has, never will.
