The Democrats’ New Rallying Cry: Work Is A Trap And We Applaud Those Who Can Avoid It

The modern Democrat Party looks at government the same way little kids view Santa. Liberals seem to believe the government has infinite resources that can be used to hand out free gifts without ever having to worry about how they will be paid for. However, back in the real world, “gifts” aren’t free. The money for those “gifts” has to be confiscated from people who work for a living and all too often these days, it’s given to people who don’t. This is why no matter how wasteful the government was, bureaucrats used to at least try to give the American people the IMPRESSION that they cared about being responsible with their money.These days? The Democrat Party’s mantra is quit work, have a good time and someone else will pick up the bill.

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

That is the upshot of last week’s remarkable exchange over ObamaCare. It began when the head of the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office reported that the interplay of taxes and subsidies in the law “creates a disincentive for people to work.” The report predicted the mix would lead to fewer hours worked, costing the equivalent of nearly 2.5 million jobs.

In response, President Obama’s spokesman pleaded guilty — with pride and pleasure.
