Abe Lincoln
Leaving work today I drove across the Schuylkill River on my way home, and on the bridge, there was a billboard that made me smile, and restored my hope in humanity slightly. On the billboard was a quote (credited to Lincoln, but was never said by him), that stated “You can’t help the poor by destroying the rich”. And this billboard is in a city that has one of the highest poverty rates in the country.
So a proven lie gives you hope? How Conservative! I guess that’s the whole slight of hand behind Reaganomics, lol!
Do me a favor and let me know just which right-wing Christian nutbag lobbying organization attached their name to that shit, OK? Thanks!
Is that to imply that a 2-5% tax increase would “destroy the rich”? Because that’s all that is really being talked about.
