You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong.
You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift.
You cannot lift the wage earner up by pulling the wage payer down.
You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred.
You cannot build character and courage by taking away men's initiative and independence.
You cannot help men permanently by doing for them, what they could and should do for themselves.
― Abraham Lincoln

But the poor will destroy the rich if they get pissed off enough. The only piece we are missing is a little famine . . .
Economic factors included hunger and malnutrition in the most destitute segments of the population, due to rising bread prices, after several years of poor grain harvests. Bad harvests, rising food prices, and an inadequate transportation system that hindered the shipment of bulk foods from rural areas to large population centers contributed greatly to the destabilization of French society in the years leading up to the Revolution.
Another cause was the state's effective bankruptcy due to the enormous cost of previous wars, particularly the financial strain caused by French participation in the American Revolutionary War. The social burdens caused by war included the huge war debt, made worse by the loss of France's colonial possessions in North America and the growing commercial dominance of Great Britain. France's inefficient and antiquated financial system was unable to manage the national debt, something which was both partially caused and exacerbated by the burden of an inadequate system of taxation.
Meanwhile, the royal court at Versailles was seen as being isolated from, and indifferent to, the hardships of the lower classes.

That is also why Lincoln had a failed presidency. Heck, he was so bad the nation tore itself apart.

If its not racism its classism... Americans need something to be divided about... Americans need to pick sides... That's why we have a stupid two party system...that's why we categorize race as majorities and minorities...As a collective group of people... Americans just need division and dispute...
Harry Reid is doing his best to help the poor by destroying the rich.
Reid says government jobs must take priority over private-sector jobs...

Cramer gives evidence from CEO's to what most conservatives have long believed. We have met the enemy and the enemy is us (WH). Hell of a way to get the economy back on tract.
