AlanHo Posted April 20, 2008 Report Share Posted April 20, 2008 You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich. 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-pops- Posted April 20, 2008 Report Share Posted April 20, 2008 I believe this iniquitous tax change was brought in by Brown when he was Chancellor and only now come into force. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
