One in 10 of the rural area in the 1930s had electricity thanks to Capitalism: it wasn't just cost effective for the electrical companies to supply electricity cheaply.
It was thanks to FDR's 'socialist' policy, that that inequality was erased.
LBJ was dirt poor so he knew about poverty: that's why he launched the 'Great Society' program.
But FDR was a patrician. Truly, the 'traitor to his class' lol.
It's also ironic that a Texan ended the racial prejudice by legislation: LBJ.
I guess Universal Healthcare is the last Frontier in America. No less difficult than what LBJ faced(his cost? The unraveling of the Democratic Coalition-the South fell out. Morality trumps Votes: a rare case indeed, and therein lies LBJ's greatness). Whoever achieves it will be the next Great President.
