Potential opponent of Walker: "taking care of people is what government is supposed to do!"
Milwaukee Story ^ | 11.16.11 | Shaun Booth

Mahlon Mitchell quote from interview, "we have this senseless rhetoric that comes forth from the far, far right--the conservative right, that the rich and wealthy are job creators. All of the sudden now we call them job creators, back in the 19th century they called them robber barons. I think what people are saying is that we need to take our government back"

Interesting interview to get a peak in the mind of the other side.

Just think of government as your Mommy and Daddy.

It will serve you well.

In this case I think it is called “spelunking”.

The purpose of government is “taking care of people”? Marxist pukes like this guy really believe that they have the right to use government as an agent of force to steal the fruit of my labor to subsidize their failed social engineering schemes.

WRONG.

Just like the crap we have shoved down our throat that the USA is a democracy rather than a Republic.

Standard Liberal tactic - say it loud, say it often, and the sheep will begin to accept it as truth.

But with the primary purpose to further their own political power with which to line their pockets and those of their thug supporters

Aw geez - whatever happened to “Ask not what your country can do for you - ask what you can do for your country”.— John Kennedy.

Seems like an inconvenient quote for the new socialist left now.

The rich are job creators, Our elected offical are the robber barons who have special rules for themselves that do not apply to the average person.

“Moron liberal socialist” is a doubly redundant phrase, as each of the terms is a definition for the other two.

That said, it is NOT the business of government to “take care” of people. Once you are able to stand upright and feed yourself, more and more of the responsiblity shifts from others to yourself, until that magical age of eighteen, when presumedly you become a practicing adult.

But some never make the transition, and fail to launch, recoiling from personal responsibility as if it were the face of the devil. Which for some, it may be, as they have never had opportunity to LEARN responsibility, at any level.

But alas, so many reach the magical age of eighteen, and the mark of that rite of passage is the exercise of the franchise to vote.

One person, one vote, one way, one time.

It’s really too bad that it has become possible to actually impose their ideas on us through the political process.

This makes a violent resolution to the conflict more inevitable.

Not inconvenient at all, if you’re rich or a producer, you can do for your country by giving all your money to the gubmint for fair distribution.
