"You cannot help the poor, by destroying the rich.Do you recognize the author?
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 a mans initiative and independence.
You cannot help men permanently, by doing for them what they could and should, do for themselves."
Very, very wise words, and we still don't get it
