Oh, now, just a minute. You don't know what you're talking about. Well, certainly I know what I'm talking about, and I want to tell you something. I've been studying this thing for a few years. Yeah, yeah, yeah. What I want to know is, what's it all mean to me? Politics? I'll tell you what politics means to you. Open your wallet. OK. Well? You've got more money than you had 20 years ago, haven't you? Even after taxes. Sure. See that Social Security card you have? It means security for you and your family. The Democrats made it possible. Well? And there's an automobile registration card. Were you riding or walking in 1931? Look there at your bank book. Your savings are insured up to $10,000, thanks to the Democrats. Is that a picture of your family? Pretty nice, huh? Pretty wonderful. Nice home they have, too. I think the Democrats have given you the chance to do pretty well, mister. Don't let the Republicans take all those good things away from you. Vote Democratic.
