Poisoned against prosperity

In 1861, President Abraham Lincoln addressed congress with these words:

"Lincoln said those who toil
up from poverty are the ones
to be trusted most..."
...not those who remain in poverty!

Poverty is not a virtue but a self-induced
crime rooted in the mind. Our minds have
been poisoned against prosperity not only
by those who struggle in poverty but also
by the media, the movies, and television
shows who bombard us with portrayals of
the rich being corrupt.

The only thing worse than a lie is a half-truth!
"Remember……. a lie told often enough
becomes accepted as truth."
