Einstein once said, 'The definition of insanity is
Doing the same thing over and over again
And expecting different results.'
It is the poor who
Habitually elect Democrats,
Yet they are still poor.
"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
