1.

Millionaire rancher Cliven Bundy, whose cattle are on government welfare:

“I want to tell you one more thing I know about the Negro. They abort their young children, they put their young men in jail, because they never learned how to pick cotton. And I've often wondered, are they better off as slaves, picking cotton and having a family life and doing things, or are they better off under government subsidy? They didn't get no more freedom. They got less freedom.”

2.

Milllonaire President Ronald Reagan describes the welfare fraud of a mythical welfare queen:

“She has eighty names, thirty addresses, twelve Social Security cards and is collecting veteran's benefits on four non-existing deceased husbands. And she is collecting Social Security on her cards. She's got Medicaid, getting food stamps, and she is collecting welfare under each of her names. Her tax-free cash income is over $150,000.”

3.

Millionaire President Ronald Reagan on states' rights:
