8. What Has The Democratic Party Ever Done For You?!!!
Reg: They've taxed us white, the bastards. They've taken everything we had, not just from us, from our fathers and from our fathers' fathers.

Stan: And from our fathers' fathers' fathers.

Reg: Yes.

Stan: And from our fathers' fathers' fathers' fathers.

Reg: All right, Stan. Don't labour the point. And what have they ever given us in return? (he pauses smugly)

Xerxes: Social Security?

Reg: What?

Xerxes: Social Security.

Reg: Oh yeah, yeah they gave us that. Yeah. That's true.

Masked Commando: And Civil Rights!

Stan: Oh yes ... Civil Rights, Reg, you remember what the city used to be like.

Reg: All right, I'll grant you that the Social Security and Civil Rights are two things that the Democrats have done ...

Matthias: And Public Works ...

Reg: (sharply) Well yes obviously Public Works... the roads go without saying. But apart from the Social Security, the Civil Rights and Public Works ...

Another Masked Commando: Electrification ...

Other Masked Voices: Medicare ... Education ... Health

Reg: Yes ... all right, fair enough ...

Commando Nearer The Front: And repealing prohibition ...

General Audience: Oh yes! True!

Francis: Yeah. That's something we'd really miss if the Democrats left, Reg.

Masked Commando At Back: Clean environment!

Stan: And it's safe to walk in the streets at night now.

Francis: Yes, they certainly know how to keep order ... (general nodding) ... let's face it, they're the only ones who could in a place like this. (more general murmurs of agreement)

Reg: All right ... all right ... but apart from Social Security and Civil Rights and education and electrification and health care and roads and a clean environment and public order ... what have the Democrats done for us?

Xerxes: Brought peace!

Reg: (very angry, he's not having a good meeting at all) What!? Oh ... (scornfully) Peace, yes ... shut up!
