Read the following excerpt from a speech by Governor Ronald Reagan in support of Barry Goldwater's nomination for president in 1964:
This is a man who, in his own business before he entered
politics, instituted a profit-sharing plan before unions had
ever thought of it. He put in health and medical insurance
for all his employees. He took 50 percent of the profits
before taxes and set up a retirement program, a pension
plan for all his employees. He sent monthly checks for life
to an employee who was ill and couldn't work. He provides
nursing care for the children of mothers who work in the
stores. When Mexico was ravaged by the floods in the Rio
Grande, he climbed in his airplane and flew medicine and
supplies down there.
Why did Reagan most likely include this paragraph in his speech?
