Phillips pretty much nailed the South with that statement. Nixon of course started the Southern Strategy but frankly its origins are with Goldwater in 1964.

The idea that people might be more interested in being recognized as human beings by their government than they are interested in money is what they don’t get.

Their priorities are a bit backwards.

First you are are recognized as a human being, then you are eligible for a job, education, whatever …not the other way around.
