What I think people should realize is that programs like Social Security, programs like Medicare, programs like the Veterans Administration, programs like your local park and your local library - those are, if you like, socialist programs; they're run by [and] for the public, not to make money.

And those people vote for politicians who favor keeping the poverty programs in place. There's a conspiracy theory in there somewhere.
