You all seem to say how Pres Lincoln was such a great Pres yet you do the opposite of what he believed. What has happened to us that you feel you must steal from person to give to another????

"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
