Abraham Lincoln Quote
“You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich.
You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong. 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 up 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

Soooooo true!!!! Too bad Abe can’t be our president!
Proof that wisdom stands the test of time.
Totally agree with this, the scary part is a lot of it is common sense, but that seems to be lacking for a lot of people! Thanks for the reminder Julie!
Remember to VOTE tomorrow!!!
What are we voting for? I need to climb out of my dog-hole more often so I know what is going on in the world.
Michigan primary, remember you can’t split tickets, must vote only within a party. I’ll actually be voting against my party to keep out people I really can’t stand. Too many running unopposed in my party, it would be a wasted vote.
