Sometimes Republicans say the darnedest things. Whether its something covertly racist, hypocritical or out of plain ol' greed, their comments always seem to amuse me, in a sad/funny/ WTF kind of way. Michele Bachmann of Minnesota did not disappoint us today when she helped unveil the Republican bill to help the middle class (with tax breaks for corporations of course) by talking about how she views the hardworking citizens in her home state.
From ThinkProgress:
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.
Bachmann’s version of the American Dream is apparently working two full-time jobs and struggling to get by.
Gee, when I was growing up I always wanted to have two jobs and no time for my family. Isn't that what everyone wan......oh wait, thats what rich and greedy bastards like Bachmann want for the rest of us. Not for her to worry her pretty head about actually working hard for a change. Then again, maybe it is just hard work to get a hug (and other stuff) from the President.
