She goes on to say how great Petaluma is and how they want to get a home here to raise their children but can barely afford an apartment. Then says if her husband is elected he will assure that any person who want to live here can, by providing affordable housing and financial breaks so everyone can live here in this wonderful community, not just the wealthy.

Paddy stood as a candidate for the Mayoralty of his small village. He said that the rich people of the village must share their wealth with the poorer folk, and he, as Mayor, would enforce it. Murphy interrupted him.
"If you had two houses Paddy would you give me one?"
"For sure I would!" said Paddy.
"And if you had two horses would you give me one?"
"For sure I would!' said Paddy.
"If you had two cows would you give me one?"
"For sure I would!" said Paddy
''And if you had two pigs would you give me one?"

Deathly silence.

Then: "Begorah ye know I have two pigs!"

Bureaucrats/politicians are all hat and no cattle (pigs in this case,) when it comes to the crunch.

And anything that is 'free' or is an 'entitlement' is paid for by someone who works.
