Quotable Quotation ~ Governor Chris Christie (R) Of New Jersey And Abraham Lincoln

Governor Chris Christie (R) Of New Jersey: “I do not think Americans want equal income equality, I think they want equal income opportunity. That is the spirit of this country.” This quotation has placed him back in the grace of the Republican Party, as Christie is thought by many to be too moderate and progressive.
Interestingly, Christie’s quotation harmonizes with the beliefs of a famous Republican from the 19th century, Abraham Lincoln, who said: “The worst thing a government can do for a people is to provide for them, that which they should earn on their own.”
