“I hold that while man exists it is his duty to improve not only his own condition, but to assist in ameliorating mankind.” -- Abraham Lincoln
“The absence of effective State, and, especially, national, restraint upon unfair money-getting has tended to create a small class of enormously wealthy and economically powerful men, whose chief object is to hold and increase their power. The prime need to is to change the conditions which enable these men to accumulate power which it is not for the general welfare that they should hold or exercise. We grudge no man a fortune which represents his own power and sagacity, when exercised with entire regard to the welfare of his fellows.” -- Theodore Roosevelt
Both Abe and Teddy were moral, righteous, incorruptible Republicans . . . a long time ago.
