Posted by admin on Friday, July 22, 2016

Abraham Lincoln Money Quote saying we should make it possible for all to gain riches, from ‘Allow the humblest man an equal chance’ speech – with no war on wealth. Abraham Lincoln said:
 

 

“So while we do not propose any war upon capital, we do wish to allow the humblest man an equal chance to get rich with everybody else” — Abraham Lincoln

 

 

Abraham Lincoln is saying that the government should aim to create a society where every person, regardless of their current wealth or social status, has an equal opportunity to become financially successful through their own efforts and abilities.

Lincoln wanted a system where factors like one’s birth, family connections, race, or gender would not determine their economic chances in life. Rather, each individual would have a fair and equal chance to “get rich” if they worked hard and made good use of their talents.

Birthday: February 12, 1809 – Death: April 15, 1865
