Really hits the nail on the head!

Can it be summed up any better?​

Not only does it perfectly sum up what's wrong with the OWS and class envy, it shows that the class envy we have now is the same class envy we have always had.​

There are always going to be greedy people, who feel justified in helping themselves to the hard work and earnings of others.​

I'm glad you posted this.

I've never heard this quote before and coming across it, found it pretty profound.

Maybe Lincoln didn't say it, but it's still true.
