I believe Reagan used the hammock analogy as well. Didn’t hurt him none.
One thing about Walker. If elected president, I’m sure one of the first things he’ll do is overturn JFK’s executive order granting government workers the right to unionize.
Jeb Bush has been making nice noises about how the economy has been disproportionately good to those at the top
This is how it works. All the corrupt media guys start their own body of work assassinating any strong GOP candidate with a little article here and there seeking to draw blood. The objective is two-fold cut enough times with many sources and hope the candidate dies, or cut and hope to hit an artery and cause the candidate mortal damage.
However it ends up, it is always the same method of attempted political assassination from the Left. As we all know, a Democrat candidate in never subjected to such treatment, Obama being the classic example of someone never fit to be president, yet assiduously protected by the corrupt MSM.
FTA:Polls have shown that Tea Party Republicans are far more likely than non-Tea Party-Republicans to believe that unemployment benefits make people less motivated to look for work and that government aid to the poor does more harm than good.
A basic knowledge of human behavior tells us that Tea Partiers are right. Statistics back this up. Out of 3 million jobs “created” last year, 1.8 million were people who ran out of unemployment benefits.
These people make me so mad. Yes, it matters how you organize society so you either encourage or discourage people from working and building personal wealth.
We have free everything from the government and less and less people working.
“Inequality” Screw them, the only possible economic “equality” comes from the bleakness of communism, and not even then.
In a third world hell hole, poverty is due to the people at the top, in a free society most of the blame for poverty rightfully belongs to the individual.
The Dims always talk like our poor are in the same situation as the poor in zimbabwe, when they are not. Take any poor oppressed hard working african to the united states and soon they will no longer be poor even if they don’t take a dime of gubermint monies. Take the average american poor citizen to Zimbabwe and they will remain poor.
That is the main difference.
Walker’s battles in Wisconsin will have prepared him well for a fight on the national level.
The people on the other side of the tracks were almost as backward as we were. Looking back I can see where the teachers and some others did look down on us. But we didn't realize it. In the end our side competed very well with the others in every category.
The one difference I see between us then and poor people today is in their pride. We and our parents would have been ashamed to be on assistance from the government. Poor people now are told that it is their right to take assistance from the government. They feel entitled to demand that food, clothing, transportation, utility bills, and anything else be provided to them. They see it as a victory to be provided for by the government. They seem to think that we are the unfortunate ones because we have to work for a living.
That sense of entitlement (that the government encourages) is what cripples people living on the dole. They feel like they are beating the system. Getting a job would be the system beating them.
Laziness should hurt. Stupidity should hurt more. Hunger is a great motivator. The welfare queens and kings need to be kicked out of their hammock and get their lazy asses to work. If you don’t want to work, skid row has plenty of room for you. My compassion meter was pegged long ago and seeing mob action for section 8 housing and hand outs for cash and food from MY tax dollars has left me sick and tired of seeing these ungrateful slobs.
