I think this quote is real.

It was once said that the moral test of government is how that government treats those who are in the dawn of life, the children; those who are in the twilight of life, the elderly; and those who are in the shadows of life, the sick, the needy and the handicapped.

Hubert Humphrey

Who would have ever imagined a government taking care of the less fortunate in its society?

Everyone who votes, as Mitt Romney both discovered and (to his chagrin) enunciated.  It's why Social Security is the Third Rail of Politics™.  It's why 50% of the federal budget goes to some form of safety net.
