Matthews: Ryan Wants To 'Screw' The Poor
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 08/14/2012 6:00:27 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

On Morning Joe today, Chris Matthews exposed the ugly face of class warfare politics at its most primal.

Matthews claimed that Paul Ryan wants to "give" money to rich people but "doesn't like" people who depend on government, and indeed, as a conservative, wants to "screw" them.

Chris Matthews plays the class-warfare card against Paul Ryan at its most despicable. Ping to Today show list.

LOL! If Ryan announcement has already turned the Dems into flailing fear-mongers, what will they be like when he's halfway into the campaign?

He cares deeply about the poor but his caring doesn’t manifest itself in throwing money at them. He realizes that things like the War on Poverty only made poverty harder on people and that government can never be the solution. Not caring and not throwing money around are very different.

Shouldn’t Cwissy be giving his riches to the poor? Oh yeah, he’s only generous with other people’s money like all good communists.

Pray for America

Matthews

One of Obama's Reelection Committee's most faithful lieutenants. With Ryan in the mix, Obama's MSM Reelection Committee will amp up its goosestep in Brownshirt Nazi style, giving full allegiance to the Fuehrer and attempting to savage any opposition.

“Ryan Wants To ‘Screw’ The Poor”

Too late, the Liberals have been banging the ‘poor’ like a screen door in a hurricane for donkey's years!!!

No, Chrissy. The difference is this:

Obama believes that no one is personally responsible for their failures. Further, he believes that those who have been successful have generally been so because they were lucky, and often because they screwed other people and made them fail. Thus, there is no personal responsibility for inner city slums, gangs, teen age pregnancy, welfare dependence, and high rates of out of wedlock births. All that happened because government didn't do enough for those people, and because successful people used them and screwed them.

Ryan believes in personal freedom, equality of opportunity, and personal responsibility, but not in forced homogenization of outcome. He believes that we should encourage people to have dreams and pursue them, and that our country should celebrate those who have worked hard and achieved, not vilify and punish them. He, and most on the right also feel that we have a personal responsibility to be charitable and to help others who need help, but that arbitrary ‘redistribution’ of wealth by the government is essentially theft.

It's a simple dichotomy Chris.

Its tough to argue with such a well thought out & articulated position.

Such an intellect.

That “tingle that ran up” Chris Matthews’ leg, may in fact, turn out to be one of the beginning symptoms of peripheral neuropathy, a progressive degenerative condition of the nerve function of the legs associated with impaired circulation.

He have learned by now it had almost nothing to do with the ascension and immaculation of his idle idol.
