LIBERTY TO STARVE

Warning. One week before Christmas, AKA  shop until you drop, rant ahead.

Another  waste of skin and oxygen elected on the Tea Party wave of 2010 has chimed in on so called liberty. Doesn't seem to occur to nitwits like him that it is really hard to care about liberty when you are hungry, sick and half naked. Either that or you copy the folks from the old Shay's rebellion and you do your best to remind your new rulers just what you had been fighting for all those hungry years. The colonies issued paper money for their costs but when it was time for the taxes to be paid it was cold, hard gold and silver. In other words the new states did want their nearly worthless paper back. No thank you very much. In fact it was risings line the Shay's rebellion that led to that constitutional convention.

Read the prologue life, liberty and pursuit of happiness got changed to life, liberty and property. Notice how the declaration gets quoted, but it was a letter explaining why the colonies were rebelling. It has no legal standing.

Face it. When your kids are starving cold you are likely to follow anyone who promises at least one meal a day and some fuel to keep them warm.

BTW. The politician in question made his career in plastics. Has a degree in business and accounting. Frankly I believe we should close every business school in the country. Send accounting to the math departments and information technology to whoever is working with the computers. I have had so called business classes and found them to be pretty much worthless.

And frankly this shot makes him look like he's a couple of sandwiches shot of a picnic.
