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
Do you think there just could be some correlation here?
By the way...Abe Lincoln was a Republican!
Important Lesson:
The last four letters in American.........I Can
The last four letters in Republican.......I Can
The last four letters in Democrats........Rats
End of Lesson!
