Cantor’s Cant 0

I was too young in 1961 to notice this cartoon, but the description of it really does capture the sense of entitlement central to Republicanism:

A 1961 drawing by the great Washington Post cartoonist Herblock showed Barry Goldwater, the conservative Republican and retail heir, looking down disdainfully at a poor woman and her children and saying, “If you had any initiative, you’d go out and inherit a department store.” I can picture a similar cartoon featuring Rep. Eric Cantor, the current House majority leader.

Afterthought:

In Republican world, there’s never enough money to help the poor and always enough money to help the rich.
