I wonder if she realized that it wasn't those little poor people, organizing and pooling their bucks, in an "irresistible" effort to force congress to "redistribute" wealth from the rich to themselves?
I have to wonder what she, or her followers, would have said, if someone were to point out that it was the concerned rich themselves, who organized and pushed the government to create and even enhance those entitlement programs? What does that do to her arguments? She seems have been thinking that the young, the poor the infirm and the elderly, were all engaged in some devilishly fiendish scheme to force the gov't to rape the rich, then shower themselves with "diamonds and Cadillacs" at the expense of the wealthy. When, in fact, these programs were the efforts of those very same wealthy people!
People who knew that a wealthy and prosperous society depended upon social and national unity. Thus did they give us programs that actually created more jobs, taking care of our own, while raising our standard of living to a level that became the envy of the world.
