You cannot ...
help the poor by destroying the rich, strengthen the weak by weakening the strong, bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift, lift the wage earner up by pulling the wage payer down, further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred, build character and courage by taking away people's initiative and independence, help people permanently by doing for them, what they could and should do for themselves."
Abraham Lincoln".
