Often compared (bizarrely) to Lincoln, perhaps Obama should read up a bit on Lincoln's political stand.
"You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift. You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong. You cannot help the wage earner by pulling down the wage payer. You cannot further the brotherhood of many by encouraging class hatred. You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich. You cannot keep out of trouble by spending more than you earn. You cannot build character and courage by taking away mans initiative and independence. You cannot help men permanently by doing for them what they could and should do for themselves".
Abraham Lincoln
Do you agree with Lincoln?
Edit: It is only be understanding the past that we can prevent ourselves repeating it.
This is not about Obama's tax plan per se..it is about Obama (and pelosi) entire position on everything.
Edit: Instigator - Just learned? I have a BA in economics and in international relations. I have a masters degree in international project development and I am in my last year of law school.
