You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich.
You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong.
So, if the top 2% only gets 85% of the wealth, they will be destroyed? And, does money make you stronger or not? Only if you are already rich?
Quote:
You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift.
If thrift is eliminating waste, yes; if it is hoarding capital then that discourages spending and growth.

You cannot lift the wage earner up by pulling the wage payer down.
You cannot pull the wage payers up by starving their markets.
Quote:
You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred.
Then, share. Promote a decent society, instead of a huge cutthroat game of Monopoly.
Quote:
You cannot build character and courage by taking away people's initiative and independence.
You cannot have initiative and independence at $8/hr. People need to have a viable opportunity.
Quote:
You cannot help people permanently by doing for them, what they could and should do for themselves.
Bullshit, we've been doing it for decades, good times and bad. I agree it's not good. But, unemployment comes from my salary. Disabled cannot do, by definition. Eliminate fraud, yes. People paid into Social Security and Medicare all their lives. We did this for ourselves, and it works, if it isn't strangled by greed.
You cannot grow a prosperous society by starving the common good.
