It must have been awful...

...before Lyndon Johnson saved us all from living in a nation of poverty.  People must have been dying in the streets of untreated illnesses or starvation.  What did people do before foodstamps and medicaid?

"Well, it was a different world back then.  People took care of each other.  They don't do that these days." 

Have you ever stopped to wonder why?  Why did people stop "taking care of each other?"  Have you ever wondered if maybe it was because the government stepped in and said, hey, we got it from here?  (As they began making plans to steal from your unborn grandchildren)
