''“My fellow Americans, ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country; One person can make a difference, and everyone should try; A revolution is coming - a revolution which will be peaceful if we are wise enough; Compassionate if we care enough; Successful if we are fortunate enough - but a revolution which is coming whether we will it or not. We can affect its character, we cannot alter its inevitability; Let us not seek the Republican answer, but the right answer. Let us not seek to fix the blame for the past. Let us accept our own responsibility for the future.” - John F. Kennedy'' | ''“My fellow Americans, ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country; One person can make a difference, and everyone should try; A revolution is coming - a revolution which will be peaceful if we are wise enough; Compassionate if we care enough; Successful if we are fortunate enough - but a revolution which is coming whether we will it or not.

''“In my generation, Abraham Lincoln was patriotism… What Lincoln represented, as President, was the reaffirmation and the consolidation of the original intent of the founders, an intent which is located in the question of ‘life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness,’ in opposition to the Lockean principle of greed. And, the idea that every human being is not only made in the image of God, but society must be ordered in a way which conforms to the implications of that, as I’ve defined them. Today, that principle is the central issue of all global politics: The fact that the United States, when we were called to service in World War II, went to service with the heritage of Lincoln, and the Union victory in the Civil War…” - Lyndon H. LaRouche Jr'' | ''“In my generation, Abraham Lincoln was patriotism… What Lincoln represented, as President, was the reaffirmation and the consolidation of the original intent of the founders, an intent which is located in the question of ‘life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness,’ in opposition to the Lockean principle of greed.

''“The rich people apparently are leaving America. They’re giving up their citizenship. These great lovers of America who made their money in this country - when you ask them to pay their fair share of taxes, they’re running abroad. We have 19 year-old kids who died in Iraq and Afghanistan defending this country. They went abroad. Not to escape taxes. They’re working class kids who died in wars and now the billionaires want to run abroad to avoid paying their share of taxes. What patriotism! What love of country!” - Bernie Sanders'' | ''“The rich people apparently are leaving America. They’re giving up their citizenship.
