- Bell Work-) Who is the candidate giving this speech and why according to the caption below the excerpt is he historically significant? 2.) What is the underlying theme of the excerpt? 3.) Reflect on the following statement: “Today you work from January through April just to provide government with the money it spends. Until early February you are working to pay the expenses of local and state government. For twice as long thereafter you are working to pay the expenses of the Federal Government. Only then do you work for money that you yourself can use for what you yourself choose.” Do you believe a statement like this still resonates with American’s today and why might a statement like this be a strong rallying cry for a political candidate?
