"If a free society cannot help the many who are poor, it cannot save the few who are rich."
-This quote commits the fallacy of non sequitor because the ending of this quote doesn't hold any relevance to the statemnet before it. Just because a society caqn't help the poor, it shows no correlation to saving the rich making the statement irrelevant to the previous thought. Making it a fallacy of non sequitor.
-Speeches that commit so many fallacies can still be seen as effective and famous because most fallacies appeal to our emotions, and are typicly catchy. which is why we remeber the speeches so easily. And most people can't really pick up on fallacies just by hearing them, so people are kind of blinded to these fallacies when they just hear them.
