I was being sarcastic; you are being confabulatious. ;^)
But your point is well-taken - the fundamental reason people support gubmint schools, welfare, and other popular socialist doodads, is the unloading of responsibility onto the gubmint.
Of course, no one in gubmint ever takes any responsibility unless forced to plea-bargain, or to testify as an 'unindicted co-conspirator'.
Moral responsibility is as avoided in our times by all parties as the Queen of Spades in a game of Old Maid.
If the reported story turns out to be approximately factual, Rush will have to make a large ethical decision at some point.

Me too, but I'm not optimistic. Socialists (left and "right") don't have a good track record for repudiating socialism when they are busted for blatantly not contributing their share to the collective.
Do you remember that pro-gun control liberal D.C. newpaper columnist Carl Rowan who got caught using an "illegal" gun defending his home in "gun-free" D.C.? Or look at Feinstein and all those other anti-gun liberals who have body guards armed to the teeth. Does any of that stop them from demanding that the rest of us forego our rights to self defense, while they traipse around with their armed guards?
