#95 Republicans care about money. Democrats care
about people.
When I was a child, I asked my mom, “What’s the difference
between Republicans and Democrats?” With just the
slightest pause, perhaps thinking how to explain something very complicated to
an eight-year-old, she replied, “Republicans care about money. Democrats care
about people.”
I don’t remember knowing at that time whether mom was a Democrat or a Republican, but I do remember knowing decisively, at that very moment, that I would always be a Democrat because I wanted to care about people and I didn't want to care about money.

Mom didn’t say that
Republicans or Democrats were good or bad. She just gave me information so I could decide what was important to me. And I did.
