"America now has a government that views work as a trap and celebrates those who escape it.".......He nailed it.


Among its many stamps, the Postal Service has a series called “Made in America, Building a Nation.” The strip of “forever” stamps is a collection of iconic photographs of 20th-century industry featuring men and women toiling on railroads, skyscrapers and factory floors.

A celebration of work and workers, the series quotes Helen Keller saying, “The world is moved along, not only by the mighty shoves of its heroes, but also by the aggregate of the tiny pushes of each honest worker.”

My, oh, my, how times have changed. America now has a government that views work as a trap and celebrates those who escape it.

And those who don't choose to escape must support those who do.

Some of my hardest challenges has been turning around companies with poor moral. You can do almost anything you want, but until you get rid of the management the ship will never right itself.

That will become the new America - workers who play on the internet all day. Workers get stoned and drink at lunch. Workers who would just as soon screw something up on purpose. Uncle Sam knows you can't tax stuff that doesn't get made.

Sounds like Soviet Russia.
People didn't work hard because there was no point to it since you couldn't be rewarded for doing a better job than the next guy.
Drinking was the coping mechanism for the crappy life.

Oh, the irony of the situation. First, while trying to sell the ACA, dems were touting all the new jobs it would create and how it would bring down the deficit, cause premiums to go down and save the average family $2500 in premiums AND most importantly, get insurance coverage extended to those who were uninsured.

Since most of those have now proved obviously false, now the dems are saying "why work? Why be a slave to your job? Now, you can be a poet and be covered by insurance!!" Never mind few poets make enough to pay the premiums, even with a subsidy. Never mind that the majority of those who have signed up on the exchanges are those who HAD insurance policies that got cancelled, not the previously uninsured.

If this all was so good for us, why are they now trying to make a negative (loss of employment, according to CBO report) into a positive? This doesn't even begin to address the illegality of the Prez re-writing the deadlines explicitly written into the legislation with a wave of the hand and a stroke of his pen.

This is further proof that those hard leftists that foisted this on all of us will say and do anything to get to their desired end, no matter how silly and or disingenuous. Seriously, they want us to believe that they think work is not something that most of the people need and want? They know that they have a relatively small group of supporters that would love to do nothing all day and get freebies from the government. They want us all in that boat - dependent on their government. They'll say or do anything to convince us that this is a good thing, when it's nonsense on stilts. They can't run away far enough or fast enough from the disaster they created.
