Absolutely-the points yes. The intrepretation is left up to the reader. For instance, property IS the fruit of labor. What type of property is determined by the reader. Richness again, is determined by the individual. We can however make the assumption that those that are houseless are houseless because they did not make wise decisions or have labor that afforded them the house of their dreams. However, a house as written is interpreted as a place of shelter.

I believe that we should abide by the cannots as a society AND teach our children that they can have, be and do anything if they work hard enough, long enough and continually learn.

On a side note, though he may not have “said” very much about money, it is believed that Honest Abe was in deed murdered by British bankers in response to his attempt at cleaning up & dismantling their control over the US banking system during his presidency & before.

These British banks indeed controlled the US economy at that time, whose government was nothing short of bankrupt. Lincoln worked to remove the stranglehold of the British banks, which ended up costing him his life.

I’m not sure how Rush Limbaugh and Jesus became part of the discussion, or how this turned into a political post? I didn’t mention anything overtly political in the post?

In any event I have now updated the post and included an actual Lincoln quote that closely ties into the theme of the other quote. Sounds like he did have something in common with the philosophy of Boetcker?

As a Lincoln fan, I consider this post very misleading. Although you mention that these words are not actually Lincoln’s, your disclaimer hardly compensates for the title and large graphic, implying otherwise.

Lincoln said very little about economics (being busy with more pressing issues) but everything he did say had nothing in common with the philosophy of William J. H. Boetcker. Using Lincoln’s name to falsely support your political agenda is a cheap trick–what’s next, “Jesus says Rush Limbaugh is God’s gift to Mankind (not really, but I agree with the sentiment)”

If you want to promote Reaganomics, try defending trickle down economic policies with facts.
