Einstein once said, 'The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.'


It is the poor who habitually elect Democrats
yet they are still
POOR!


"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

They might be poor, but that's because they live within their means and don't spend what they don't have.......they may not have much, but at least it's all theirs.

I don't often agree with you Mr. Lucifer but nicely put. It's a shame atleast the republicans just lie. The democrats trick you which is far worse. You could make this same comparison with the union.
