Margaret Thatcher - 'They'd rather have the poor poorer.'

Margaret Thatcher's classic moment where she explains that everyone has benefitted from the economic reforms, even if the gap between rich and poor is wider. She explains that the liberals effectively would rather the poor be poorer if only the gap could be smaller, because the rich would be less rich. 27 November 1990.

Thatcher, an icon of the Cold War era, and key force in the powerful and historic relationship between the United Kingdom and the United States, passed away of a stroke on April 8, 2013.
