A very interesting video clip below from the Mel Brooks "A History of the World Part One" where the Roman Senate considers housing policies that could benefit the poor as opposed to policies that help the rich. The Senate votes no to helping the poor. This clip is prophetic because it shows how the Republican Party, in considering what they call health care reform, are putting up proposals that sacrifice people that need the government to be their advocates for people who will be fine no matter what.
