#43 said besides being a “War” President, he would try (real hard) to get anyone in this country who wanted to work, work (but not necessarily a job). This attitude/talking point was blatantly repeated by a Member of the House this year.

First they speak of jobs and the jobless rate rises. Next they give us unemployment and say: atrophy you SOB. Next they say we are good for nothing and do not deserve federal benefits, but subsidies, like in France and Russia. Next, a party member adds, “does the 47% really matter anyway?”. Finally, like the Titanic, the First Class often are free to jump ship before the “crowd”.

See The Crowd (1928) The lead fell or jumped off a bridge in 1936, killing himself. He was on a railroad bridge contemplating suicide in a scene from The Crowd.
