Wise Words

During this political season let's be reminded of these wise words.
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.

Unless something changes, and I think it will, in 50-100 more years and this country will like the USSR(Socialism). I'm sure that will push some buttons, oh well.

The Constitution only gives people the right to pursue happiness. You have to catch it yourself.
- Benjamin Franklin

"You have to catch it yourself". Something many people don't understand.
