Watch "A Face In The Crowd".


Lonesome Rhodes: I wished you'd give me the real cotton-picking truth about how you feel on the subject of more and more and more social security.

Republican Senator "Curly" Fuller: I'm glad you asked me that question, Lonesome. I'd say that people today are obsessed...I mean, real gone for security. They want protection, coddling from the cradle to the grave. I say that weakens the moral fiber. Daniel Boone wasn't looking for unemployment insurance and old-age pension. All he needed was his ax and his gun and a chance to hew a living out of the forest with his own hands. That's the spirit that built this country. We need men. Big men. Not "Big Government".


This movie came out in 1957.

Mr. Whittle should have to live like food stamp families have to live for six months; he should try to raise a family on a minimum wage job, or two; he should come down with an expensive illness and try to get medical treatment without insurance or Medicaid; he should be harassed and hounded by racist cops; he should have to listen to Conservative douchebags blame him for all of the nation's problems, in the unending effort to assure fatcat greedheads never have to pay even marginally higher taxes on their millions and billions of income.

That is what should happen. Either that or the working poor should just lynch him and all of his ilk from the nearest lampposts.
