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
