Honest abe !!
 
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

- "Advertising is like learning -- a little is a dangerous thing...."
- "You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you cannot fool all of the people all of the time."
