CHICAGO (WLS) - A lot of reaction Wednesday morning to Congresswoman Jan Schakowsky's interview with Don Wade and Roma.
Schakowsky said that Americans don't deserve to keep all of their money because we need taxes to support our society.
Ill put it this way. You dont deserve to keep all of it and its not a question of deserving because what government is, is those things that we decide to do together. And there are many things that we decide to do together like have our national security. Like have police and fire. What about the people that work at the National Institute of Health who are looking for a cure for cancer, Schakowsky said.
Schakowsky also says one reason the 2009 stimulus bill did not succeed was because it was not large enough.

How did we ever get to this?
This woman obviously has a screw loose somewhere to think like this.
Has our educational system become so indoctrinated in socialism that clear rational thought can not survive?
I really think we as a nation are doomed.
Winner winner chicken dinner. I used to say like the obligatory fall high school physical before sports season. They would bring in a doctor to the school, check you vitals, and in less than 5 minutes if you could fog a mirror you where on the field or track workin' ya butt off.
Yes Gov't should be an elegant exercise in minimalism, not a Rube Goldberg contraption. Obviously this Statist loved that comic strip when she was a kid.....
Yeah you’re right!
LLS
I have a great idea...
Lets cut her pay by about 60-75% and see how long that takes...
I wonder what her folks in her district think about this statement...
Oh...Wait a second...Never mind...
The day will come where such people are not allowed to exist in such defiance of reality.

Congresswoman’s husband pleads guilty to two felonies
CHICAGO (AP) The husband of an Illinois congresswoman pleaded guilty Wednesday to tax violations and bank fraud for writing rubber checks and failing to collect withholding tax from an employee.
Robert Creamer, a political consultant married to four-term U.S. Rep. Jan Schakowsky, could face four years in prison on the two felony counts when he is sentenced Dec. 21.

Some animals are more equal than others....
LMAO!
(also true)
This disgraceful power-hungry Elitist must be voted out.
“national security. Like have police and fire”
It never fails, when you challenge a liberal on their socialist policies, they always bring up things that people really see as necessary, and refuse to discuss egregious abuses of taxpayers like welfare, foodstamps, etc.
We need more of these elitist aholes to expose themselves,
then, somehow, (if we had an honest media it would help),
make their fellow travelers support or disavow the beliefs of their colleagues.
Come and take it.
"...And there are many things that we decide to do together like have our national security. Like have police and fire. What about the people that work at the National Institute of Health who are looking for a cure for cancer, Schakowsky said.
Then, we will maintain our own national security, like we used to. Then, we will police ourselves and maintain our own fire safety--without unions. F--k the National Institute of Health; they are no more deserving of keeping their income than the rest of us. Get bent. Afterwards, you can come and try to take our money. You can have it after you take our guns and ammo.
Every Democrat in this Congress needs to be on the hot seat defending their Fuhrer and his actions since the day he was put in office. They all need to be voted out along with the Republicans who have no spine and guts. Time to clean the sewer that is this Congress and the sewers at every level of government throughout this country.

So sorry about the double ping. Don’t know how that happened!
What really bothers me is not so much that an obscure lefty congresswoman from a state famous for Democrat corruption and far-left politics i.e. Barack Obama is spouting collectivist nonsense but that Illinois citizens elected this woman despite her ignorance and arrogance. If that is what Americans are voting for, as they did with Obama and most of the Democrats in congress, we are in big trouble as a nation and a Republican electoral victory won't be able to change that unless we get a majority of conservatives into office, which is highly unlikely. Even if we did, the left effectively 'owns' the educational system, the media, entertainment industry and many churches as well as a good chunk of the political turf in many states, such as Illinois, making Americas future look less than rosy.
However, in human history, nothing ever remains the same over time and I retain the hope that our nations people, the ones that make America work, not the takers, will come to their senses, reject the collectivist dogma Democrats spout, albeit in code most of the time, and return our nation to the greatness that we are fully capable of attaining, again, if and when we, as Americans, throw off the shackles of the Big Government Nanny State we've allowed leftists politicians to pull us into. The 2012 election will be our opportunity and if we blow it and the Republicans nominate another RINO (like Romney) America is truly doomed.
Guessing she thinks everyone should have skin in the game, so then is she for a flat tax?
Too many gumint-supported voters on daNort-side!
