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
men's initiative and independence.
You cannot help men permanently by doing for them
what they could and should do for themselves.
Abraham Lincoln

Britannica explanation of SOCIALISM...
Socialism is in opposition to capitalism, which is based on private ownership of the
means of production and allows individual choices in a free market to determine how
goods and services are distributed. Socialists complain that capitalism necessarily
leads to unfair and exploitative concentrations of wealth and power in the hands of the
relative few who emerge victorious from free-market competition—people who then
use their wealth and power to reinforce their dominance in society. Because such
people are rich, they may choose where and how to live, and their choices in turn limit
the options of the poor. To read more, CLICK HERE
