The next step for liberals is to lower the bar and frame the new expectations. In full view of the CBO’s recent “Obamacare” projections, folks like Congressman Keith Ellison (D) MN, are actually out there hyping the wholly unrealistic and un-American concept of, less effort more reward. Many progressives are even going so far as to say that Americans work harder for less than other industrialized nations. Even if this were true, (and it’s not), and accepting that no economic system is without trial and consequence, Americans of all economic categories and stripes have and do enjoy a quality of life unequalled around the globe. What is truly astounding however, is that as we witness Europe’s economic failures in glaring high-definition, there are still fool’s like Ellison, who insist freebies and de-incentivizing the American worker are the way to go. The truth of the matter, is that in order for all Americans to excel in their own endeavors, the government must indeed do its part, that being promote and encourage, by way of unobtrusive but effective legislation, an economic climate which has liberty and free market competition at its core. Oh and essentially, GET OUT OF THE DAMN WAY!
