Einstein once said,

"The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again
and expecting different results."

It is the poor who habitually elect Democrats ..... yet they are still
POOR. Insanely expecting different results to pandering lies. Lead by
their greed they get less, and less....

"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
people's initiative and independence. You cannot help people permanently
by doing for them, what they could and should do for themselves."

Abraham Lincoln
