poorest cities

The precepts listed below are exactly what Ted Kennedy was all about, always, without waiver or shadow of redress. ted always had a silver spoon in his mouth from cradle to grave and never did mind speaking of how well off and fortunate he has lived (to the tune of bootleg whiskey income from his grandparents). But, he was all about seeing that others who worked for their silver spoons would be scuttled at every turn by taxing them and forcing middle class working people to feed and clothe those who would not and will not lift a finger to work to earn that silver spoon from which to eat and enjoy life. read below....

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 "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
