“Republicans approve of the American farmer, but they are willing
to help him go broke. They stand four-square for the American home--but
not for housing. They are strong for labor--but they are stronger for
restricting labor's rights. They favor minimum wage--the smaller the
minimum wage the better. They endorse educational opportunity for
all--but they won't spend money for teachers or for schools. They think
modern medical care and hospitals are fine--for people who can afford
them. They consider electrical power a great blessing--but only when the
private power companies get their rake-off. They think American
standard of living is a fine thing--so long as it doesn't spread to all
the people. And they admire of Government of the United States so much
that they would like to buy it.”
