The government should be responsible for providing us with affordable health care and education. That's the main function of the government, so far as you're concerned. Watching exchanges like this, it's hard not to weep. The lady is asked what she thinks government is for. This is raw socialism.
Government is Santa.
There is a big brass-bound chest in the White House basement full of money. Mean-spirited Republicans give it all to the Pentagon, or to their pals in Big Business. Kindly Democrats give it to ordinary people like me, so I can go to college and visit the doctor. There is no doubt that tens of millions of Americans think in these terms. One's faith in democracy shudders and trembles.
