POOR
"U can't help the poor by destroying the rich. U can't strengthen the weak by weakening the strong. U can't bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift. U can't lift the wage earner up by pulling the wage payer down. U can't further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred. U can't build character & courage by taking away ppl's initiative & independence. U can't help ppl permanently by doing for them, what they could & should do for themselves."
Abraham Lincoln
