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
