I have been seeing it posted on Bike Forums for a long time now, but despite my approval, I find it terribly incomplete. There are additional truths that need to be considered:

Helping the poor will not destroy the rich. Hoarding their riches is all that is required to destroy the rich.
Lending a hand to the weak will not weaken the strong. It is damn good exercise for both the body and the soul.
Although thrift is an important characteristic of our society, it is by consumption that our economy thrives.
Like it or not, we all have to learn to deal with that sensibly. Paying fair and respectable wages pulls no one down.
If saying what is true incites class hatred, there is something rotten in the relationship of the classes.
If you want to further the brotherhood of man, it would be better to fix that than worry about what is being said.
