Lincoln on Limitations
The argument for liberal socialism fails because...
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. (as in the poor hating the wealthy)
You cannot build character and courage by taking away men's initiative and independence.
You cannot help men permanently by doing for them, what they could and should do for themselves.
— by Reverend William Boetcker, in a 1916 pamphlet entitled Lincoln on Limitations
So, any party which defends and creates crazy bailouts, raised taxes and government healthcare is thought to be a good idea because.....?
