lincoln said that we cannot elevate the poor by tearing down the rich...

eh, maybe not.
 
"The course of history shows that as a government grows,
liberty decreases..."

"A government big enough to give you everything you want is a government big enough to take from you everything you have"
 
The so called rich are already doing a good
.
Job at it with out any help from anyone
.
Greed it is called
Ta hell with the main street Tom Dick or Marry
.
Citizens
.
That is you and I unless you are a
Billionaire

If Lincoln said that, he's right. However, that's NOT what Barry says. He talked about a "bottom up" policy where you build up the poor through the rich.

When has a poor person ever offered someone else a job? It doesn't work!
 
Unless Obama beliefs that black people should be slaves once again, he probably has something in common with Lincoln.
 
Actually on a quotation website, it was specifically stated that the above quote attributed to Lincoln came from someone else
 
President- elect Obama is not tearing down the rich. He merely is restoring the taxes to the rates that they were paying in the 1990s. It was George W. Bush who gave tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans and corporations

When George Bush initiated these tax cuts in 2001, McCain said, "This is shameful." He said that it offended his conscience, he said, for us to give tax breaks to the wealthy, particularly at a time of war. If you look at my approach to taxation, what have I said? I said I would cut taxes for people making $75,000 a year or less. I'd cut taxes for seniors who are making $50,000 a year or less. It is true that I would roll back the Bush tax cuts on the wealthiest Americans back to the level they were under Bill Clinton, when I don't remember rich people feeling oppressed.

However, McCain abandoned this ideology in his campaign and it is, in part, this that caused him to lose the election.
