Direct quote from Lincoln
"You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift. You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong. You cannot help the wage earner by pulling down the wage payer. You cannot further the brotherhood of man by encouraging class hatred. You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich. You cannot help keep out of trouble by spending more than you earn. You cannot build character and courage by taking away man's initiative and independence. You cannot help man permanently by doing for them what they could and should do for themselves."
Maybe you don't like to call your policy socialism, but just read Lincoln and face the fact that the truth hurts. Socialism does not and never has worked. And FDR's New Deal and the policies extended from that are ruining my country.
Obama claims to have read Lincoln, appearently he missed this passage.
So the best response you have is 'FDR is dead'?
