It could mean the difference between
Jimmy Carter and Gerald Ford.
UToo many have had to suffer at the hands
of a political and economic elite who have
„ shaped decisions and never had to account
for mistakes nor to suffer from injustice.
When unemployment prevails, they never
stand in line looking for a job. When depri
vation results from a confused welfare
system, they never do without food or
clothing or a place to sleep. When the public
schools are inferior or torn by strife, their
children go to exclusive private schools. *9
