"You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift.

You cannot help small men by tearing down big men.

You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong.

You cannot lift the wage-earner by pulling down the wage-payer.

You cannot help the poor man by destroying the rich.

You cannot keep out of trouble by spending more than your income.

You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred.

You cannot establish security on borrowed money.

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."

[thump thump]

No one's listening ! ! !

Sadly...

Yeaup. It IS sad.

By giving away handouts, we have a much longer line today with people wanting something for nothing.

^ That's the problem with "democracy." Give people the ability to vote for what the want, and they'll vote for it every time!
