Liberals are just people whose fathers never told them that money doesn’t grow on trees.

Written By : TrogloPundit

I’m painting with a broad brush, of course. I’m applying one guy’s statement to a large (although not the largest) segment of American society.

Still, I think I’m on solid ground here. Liberals think money grows on trees.

Ezra Klein, talking about the health care “reform” bill currently being bandied about in the U.S. Senate:

Expectations were that the Senate would get the CBO score for its health-care bill today. It didn’t. Or, to be more precise, it didn’t get the CBO score it wanted. The proposal Reid’s office sent to the CBO did not come in beneath the $900 billion limit, so the bill is being tweaked and trimmed until CBO gives Reid the answer he’s looking for.

That’s just the set-up. Here’s the money shot:

There’s nothing particularly strange about this process, but it means that the proposal that Reid’s office thought struck a decent balance between cost and generosity will now become a bit less affordable for individuals in order to cost the government a bit less money.

Ah. Less affordable for individuals means it costs the government less. How noble of those individuals, throwing themselves upon the grenade of higher costs like that in order to protect their beloved government!

Question: where the hell does Klein think the government gets its money? It just magically appears under the government’s pillow whenever the government loses a tooth? They collect the magical chocolate eggs laid at midnight by Galapagos dragons and trade them in for Culvers’ tokens which they then sell on the black market? They secretly create clone armies for mystical pseudo-warrior societies without those societies’ knowledge?

Where, Ezra? Where?

Klein exemplifies the adage “it’s their money.” It’s the government’s money. The fact that it’s in your wallet at the moment, that’s just an unfortunate necessity. Someday, Ezra hopes, we’ll be able to cut the middleman out entirely, and then things will really start to happen.

Oh f off. Everyone I know is liberal and we work as hard as anyone. I make good money and have a small home in an expensive city. I certainly pay my fare share so shove your whole premise.

That’s the problem though, isn’t it?

This isn’t just chump change. The price tag on this thing is ginormous. And liberals do not seem to grasp that the government does not generate revenue, so all the money has to come from someone else.

So guess what? You’ll be paying your fair share and more. And so will your kids. And their kids. And the kids of THOSE kids.

And if the money was being spent wisely, maybe, just maybe I could scrape together some support. But bluntly put, the government does one thing extremely well, better than anything else: it wastes money.

But hey, since it’s ‘for the children’ and Obama’s doing it, it’s okay, right?

Everyone I know is liberal

You need to get out more as Leftists are the minority in this country.

I make good money and have a small home in an expensive city.

I find this very unlikely as you are transparently a very yong person….teen or early twenty-something tops.
go back to 4chan, little boy.

No you FOCUK off turd boy, I’m so god damned tired of liberals stealing my hard earned money through scandalous taxes, for the social projects. All of which are obvious failures and have never improved anyone’s life. I work hard too, and I’d like to be able to retire on my 401K not on SSI, and if the govt keeps stealing my paycheck, and causes prices to rise, it won’t happen. So much for self reliance and personal responsibility, now it’s let the govt do it.

Here let me fix that for ya…
“Everyone I know is liberal and we work at being on welfare as hard as anybody. We get good money from welfare and have good housing thanks to HUD. We certainly take more than our fair share and contribute nothing to society.”

we work as hard as anyone

The only thing liberals ever work hard at is attempting to make sure no one can have the right to the fruits of their sweat, except themselves. (Which won’t happen – the big party apparatchik will get those fruits, and if the useful idiots like this sub-standard moron get in the way, it’ll be to the concentration camp with ‘em.)

Liberals act out the motions of sacrifice, but their most telling behavior is their votes for a social and economic system where those that make the most sacrifices are punished, while those who do nothing are rewarded. Same discourse as that thread, too: liberals know nothing of sacrifice, they know nothing about money, and can’t put hard work and monetary reward in the same phrase without imagining evil secret plans by moneylenders and businessmen.

That only makes liberals hypocrites at best, self-damaging morons at worst.
