Another republican who won't be our next President, Scott Walker, this week announced that he thinks it's good for low-income Americans to not have healthcare because it will help them live the American Dream.
Pretty sure this qualifies as a "What the fuck?" statement. And frankly, it's one made all too often by those on the right who have spent most of their careers either playing tiddlywinks in the executive suite of some corporation or living off the generosity of the American taxpayers.
Basically, Walker believes that if we can get every able bodied adult into the workforce, companies will just shower them with all kinds of money and benefits and we'll all be singing in the sunshine. But right now, that pesky government safety net is getting in the way.
Sure it is--just ask all those minimum wage workers at Wal-Mart, McDonald's, KMart, Walgreens, et al.
And ignore all those jobs that record corporate profits haven't created, or the record wage stagnation, or the record income inequality, or the record number of Americans living in poverty.
Or the millions of jobs that Scott Walker did not create in Wisconsin.
Because Scott Walker apparently has a magic wand that he hasn't used yet, but when he's President, look out. He'll whip that baby out and all our economic problems are going to be solved.
Book it.
Peace,
