Reagan/Lincoln quote-- do you agree?

I agree - as to most conservatives, who believe that equality is best achieved by affording opportunities that allow you to improve your situation. The Democrats believe the opposite - "tax the rich, feed the poor, until there are no rich no more." I guess the poor don't eat then.

Number 1

Great quote by – William J. H. Boetcker, The Industrial Decalogue

YOUR source clearly says that Lincoln did NOT say that !!!!

go see for yourself

that link actually says that quote is Not something Lincoln ever said.

your source gives credit to : Reverend William J.H. Boetcker

Now your lying - No source gives Lincoln credit for those quotes ! pants on fire missy

fact : Clinton was President during better economic times than Reagan

After eight years of Failed bush economic policies why are you bringing up Reagan ?

--------------

okay, sure - I see your point

I like the old saying about "teaching a man to fish" more

and.. no need to tell me about Regan, I voted for him.

Regan would be disgusted by the current administration.

Lincoln never said that. It was William J. H. Boetcker.

http://www.quotationspage.com/quote/29645.html

As the page itself says, the quote is often attributed to Lincoln, but I don't why people'd fall for it. It falls outside the political philosophy of Lincoln.

The quote comes from Boetcker's pamphlet The Ten Cannots published in 1916.

If you thumb down before you check...you are a fool. But not a surprising fool.

Edit: The only part that Lincoln might have said was the first line...back way from the Lincoln thing, it's a lie. In order to answer the question, the question has to be deemed sound. There are true elements to the quote.

But this is gibberish to the Far Left mind. They know no other way than being kept, than forcing others to work for their comfort.

There was a video game done somewhere awhile back in which players earned money. Some people did better than others in the game and earned more than others. When the game was finished those who had earned less were given the option of spending some of their money in order to take away all the money that better players had earned. Note: the bad players didn't get to keep the money they took, the better players just lost it. Those who described themselves as "liberal" or "leftist" were much more likely to _lose_ money in order to make higher achievers poorer than those who described themselves as "conservative" or "rightist".

To these people slavery means them having to take care of themselves; that they force others to work for their comfort-- IOW, involuntary servitude-- is never a problem.

You can not do allot of things.

You also cannot build an economy soley on the ability to provide supply either . There for you need a demand. That demand also should have the available resources to pay for that supply.

Do not tear apart the middle class or build an economy soley on Wall Street.

Companies in order to do business in and with the US should be forced to supply more than there product to the US. like jobs, good paying jobs with benefits.

Period!!!!!

ROFL!!!

Reaganomics and trickle down economics was a straight up joke. Trickle down economics is a honor code system and it didn't bring as much money as trickle up economics. The big businesses did not hire more people, they simply kept the money for themselves. Giving the money to the citizens proved more effective because it was spent in america instead of hoarding it in a swiss bank accounts.

Dood!!!!

You're Sloppy, and your logic makes no sense.

Your hyperlink says Lincoln did not say those things. The heading for that sections is:

"Ten Cannots That Lincoln Did Not Write:"

And now you're saying it WAS his words because other believe it to be authentic, even though you know that it was attributed to him by mistake.

Why don't YOU tell me why this makes perfect sense.

NO I DO NOT I agree with what the Bible has to say about that - The Republican Elite " have feet made of Clay'' they are top heavy with their wealth made from the slave wage labor of others .

Disgusting

Reagan was disgusting
