Why was it bad to say let them eat cake?
The famous phrase is used as proof of someone's lack of compassion or understanding. Marie Antoinette is attributed with making this statement when she heard that the poor women of Paris had no flour for bread. Since Marie had been spoiled all her life and never lifted a finger to do any work, she could not figure out that normal men, women and children were starving to death.But she figured it out a few weeks later when those same women of Paris marched on Versailles and took Marie Antoinette to the guillotine.(Note that there is essentially no evidence that Marie Antoinette actually said this, and considerable evidence that she did not; it would have been an out-of-character statement for her to make.)

Washington made her a Sergeant, Pennsylvania gave her a pension and in her later life she was called General Molly in Carlisle, Pennsylvania.
