Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose
"[Republicans] 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 think American standard of living is a fine thing-so long as it doesn't spread to all the people. And they admire the Government of the United States so much that they would like to buy it."
- Harry S Truman, Oct 13, 1948, St Paul address
