"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."
- Harry S. Truman
