This is timely. Listen to Dave Burris declare some serious class warfare. I really love it when he calls union members “upper-middle-class construction workers.” Priceless. He might as well wear a vest with dollar signs all over it like the Monopoly board guy. Or maybe FSP really stands for “Flatulent Self-serving Plutocrats”.
Bachmann: I’m ‘Proud’ That ‘We Have People Working Two Jobs’ And ‘Longer Hours’
Topping Congress’s agenda as it returns this week is a plan to “jump-start the economy and try to shorten the slowdown that many economists say has already begun to take hold.”
Today, Rep. Eric Cantor (VA), the chief deputy Republican whip in the House, unveiled his proposal to stimulate the economy. His legislation — the so-called Middle Class Job Protection Act — does nothing for the middle class. Instead, it reduces the corporate tax rate by 25 percent.
At a press conference today unveiling the stimulus proposal, Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) justified the conservative plan to give tax breaks to corporations — instead of working Americans — by arguing that people actually like working long hours:
I am so proud to be from the state of Minnesota. We’re the workingest state in the country, and the reason why we are, we have more people that are working longer hours, we have people that are working two jobs.
When Mom and Dad are both working two jobs it promotes family values becasue those troublesome dinner table squabbles are avoided.
