Abraham Lincoln was one of the great leaders of our country. He had great wisdom and he had the courage to make a difference. Below you can see a couple of his quotes that show his feelings on personal responsibility:
"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
Hopefully our citizens will realize this soon and stop with the "entitlement mentality" that many have. This is a great nation, and many people have came here with nothing and became successful (possibly your own relatives).
