Time Text
Welcome, welcome, Eric Erickson, in for Rush Limbaugh here, the phone number 800-2822882.
Thanks for being with us, the third hour of the Rush Limbaugh Show.
Don't forget you can always go twenty-four hours a day to Rushlin Ball.com.
I there is a well let me back up.
This weekend, there was the Coke Summit meeting, what have you, whatever you want to call it out in California.
And Marco Rubio apparently surprised a lot of people, came out of there well, uh, highly regarded.
They did a straw poll of the billionaires, and Marco Rubio won it.
He gave a impressive look.
I disagree with him on his immigration stuff, but Rubio is he he really is a fine guy, very articulate.
He is very passionate about this country.
He speaks of America the way Reagan spoke of it, the optimistic, shining city on the hill, not ashamed of this country in the way so many liberals approach it.
Uh yeah, you gotta like the guy.
But the the left and the media, but I repeat myself, have been streaming forth stories ever since it was announced that the Cokes, and it's not the Cokes, it is a collection of donors on the right, are claiming that they will spend something like 900 million dollars in campaign twenty sixteen, which will be less than what the left in union spend, but the media will never report that because they want you to think it's only the Republican leaning donors who spend that amount of money.
When you factor in the unions and the leftists and Hollywood and whatnot, they will outspend these Coke millionaires and billionaires, but you'll never know it from the media.
Well, there is a move out there now.
National Journal, uh I I see my buddy Kyle Wingfield at the AJC and uh the Atlanta Journal and others are saying transparency, transparency.
Let's let's just have transparency.
The next phase of campaign finance reform should be transparency.
And let me tell you, when I was in law school, I wrote a paper on the media and campaign finance, and I interviewed two people on it, uh the late great just wonderful guy, Tony Snow, and Ted Kennedy of all people.
And I remember my conversation with Tony Snow, he and I, we agreed that the way to fix campaign finance reform is to let as much money come into politics as you want, but have it be transparent.
Every dollar must be documented online within 24 hours.
So anybody can see who's funding the candidates.
It sounds great, doesn't it?
Just let all the money come in.
We're never gonna stop it.
The only people whose money is stopped is the little guys, by the way.
And this is the the great ignorance and groupthink of the mainstream media.
Now, for those of you doing show prep right now, based on me instead of Rush.
Uh one, you're at a disadvantage because he's not here, but two, I know there are many mainstream reporters and media matters goons listening right now.
And I want to explain to them something that you guys already know, but they're too dumb to understand.
The Citizens United case, the great bugaboo of the left when it comes to campaign finance decisions.
The the Citizens United case supposedly created all sorts of problems, unleashed the Coke de Puss, the Coke monster, and all the money into politics.
Let me tell you who the Citizens United case helped that allowed money to come into politics.
The little guy.
The Tea Party movement would not exist but for Citizens United.
The rich guy's money, money is to politics as water is to plant life.
It's going to find a way to soak in and get sucked into the roots of the political apparatus and and grow the political machines.
The the money is going to come in the way water finds its way through cracks.
The rich guy's money will find a way.
It always has and it always will.
Citizens United, whether it went one way or the other, wouldn't change that.
They would find a way.
The people who couldn't, though, are the guys without the resources.
The little guy, the mom and pop, the small business, the local Tea Party group.
They now can pull their money without burdensome regulations and stops on the way from the federal government.
They can compete in politics.
You would never have seen the conservative uprising against the GOP in 2010, 12, and 14, but for the Citizens United decision, but for the changes in campaign finance.
The little guy couldn't compete.
They were never going to stop the Coke money.
But now there's this great human cry for transparency.
Let them spend all the money they want.
Give unlike you know right now you're capped.
You can only give like five thousand, I forget the exact number now.
It goes up with inflation.
Five thousand, let's just say.
You can only give five thousand dollars to a candidate, twenty-five total thousand dollars to a political party.
So now they're saying get rid of the caps.
Let them write a billion dollar check if they want to, but require it to be disclosed within twenty-four hours.
It sounds great, doesn't it?
Give them as much as you want, but let's all know who it is.
It's a terrible, terrible idea.
Transparency sounds good.
The media loves it because it gives them something to write about.
They can write about the checks going to the candidates.
It is a terrible idea.
And I am ashamed of conservatives for supporting it.
I repent of the sin of having supported it myself.
It is an awful idea, and you should oppose it with every fiber in your being.
You should oppose transparency in campaign finance.
Do you know why?
Some of you were asking, why?
Because of the rise of the gay rights movement.
Look what happened with Proposition 8 in California.
Small dollar donors were targeted for harassment at their jobs.
Small businesses were targeted at boycotts by boycotts because the owners of the businesses gave money.
Look at campaign 2012.
How many Romney donors, major Romney donors got audited by the IRS?
There were a good number of them, documented among other places in the Washington Post or in the Wall Street Journal.
Full disclosure that the media loves, the media loves it because the media is of the left and they want to shut you up.
And if they know you are giving money to a political campaign, a ballot measure, a referendum, they will come after you if they oppose it.
Look at Brandon Ike.
He gave money to the Proposition 8 campaign.
He's devout in his faith.
He got in it to be the CEO of the Mozilla Corporation, and they drove him from his job because he gave political contributions to a cause they disagreed with.
And their response is, well, you can give the money you want, but there are repercussions for it.
Well, of course the left would say that.
Because they're the ones doing it.
They want to hound people from their jobs.
They want to shut down the money.
The left knows.
The media that supports transparency knows.
The moment campaign finances are transparent across the board is the moment they can shut you down if they disagree with you.
It is the moment they can affix the Alinsky target on your back.
They can personalize it and they can attack you and destroy you for giving fifty dollars to a pro-life cause, for giving fifty dollars to a pro-marriage cause, for giving fifty dollars to the Republican nominee for president.
The moment that is disclosed you are a target to the left.
That's why they like transparency.
They don't like it because they think it'll improve the system.
They don't.
They say they do.
They say they do.
And there's a minority who genuinely believe it, the true believers in the integrity of man.
We're all a bunch of sinners, folks.
And they want to come after us.
They want to highlight you.
They want to make a case of your hypocrisy.
They want to sick the IRS on you.
They want to hound you all for writing a check to a cause you believe in or a candidate you support.
That's why the left wants transparency.
It has nothing to do with integrity.
Oh, it has everything to do with their version of good government because in their version of good government, there will be no conservatives, there will be no Christians, there will be no Southern white men.
They will drive you from the political playing field.
The moment they know who's giving you money, they will dry up those funds.
They will harass and embarrass people.
There was a story of a waitress.
I remember this after the Proposition Eight measure in California.
Group of gay rights activists went into the restaurant.
She was A waitress, and they harassed her while she was waiting tables.
I distinctly remember that story.
There are other documented cases of this happening.
And it it started with the the gay rights movement in Proposition 8, and it has expanded from there across the board.
Environmentalists are doing it.
People giving money to to the causes that are reluctant to sign on to global warming.
They're doing it now with measures around the country, r religious freedom measures in states that are perfectly happy to pass measures, anti-discrimination measures that include gays, but provide measures for the conscientious Christian to not be forced to bake the cake or provide the flowers or take the photography at the gay wedding.
They're coming after that.
They're trying to shut that down.
In the left's police state, and it will be a police state when they win.
Anything not prohibited will be mandatory.
That's that is a truth you can take to the bank.
In the left's police state, anything that is not prohibited will be mandatory.
Things that the left says you cannot do, no one will be allowed to do by law.
The big gulp, gone.
Cigarettes gone, except when they need sources of funding, then it will not surprise me one day to see them making mandatory smoking laws.
Everybody's got to light up.
Everybody's gonna have to one day go buy cigarettes to fund health care costs.
What is not prohibited by the left will be made mandatory.
You will all be forced to provide goods and services to the wedding you may not want to provide goods and services to.
You will all be forced to fund a public education based on common core that teaches your kids that the sky is magenta.
They will do these things to you over time.
And they will start with transparency.
They will root out the sources of money to causes and candidates they oppose, and they will hound and harass the guy who's given ten dollars.
They will drive him from the town square because just by virtue of him having written the check, he dissents.
And dissent is only patriotic in America when the left is out of power.
Eric Erikson here, in for Rushland Ball.
Welcome back, Eric Erikson, in for Rushlinbaugh, 800 two eight two two eight eight two.
How's about we take a phone call from Dale in Syracuse, New York?
Welcome to the EIB network.
Hey, thanks, Eric.
Thanks for taking my phone call.
Sure.
I heard a little while ago you were talking to a fellow about um you know free free community college and how kids need remedial classes in order to enter community college.
Free community college.
Um and here's just a wild idea.
Twenty-five, thirty years ago, community college used to be worth something.
I mean, you could go to school, get a two-year degree, get into get into the workforce, and it that that two-year degree would mean something.
Now you've got to couple that with a four-year degree, and if you fall short and don't get your four-year degree, you really you don't seem to have anything.
Well, here's a here's an interesting spin on it.
As long as we're gonna pay for community college, why not leave our kids in school another two years?
Don't have them graduate after twelve.
Have them graduate after fourteen.
Um they're not accumulating any debt, they're still living at home.
They can't smoke yet, they can't drink yet.
Um, at 18 they can smoke.
Uh not in New York State, they can't.
Oh, really?
Wow, the nanny states have done that there.
Yep.
Don't worry, pretty soon when they need health care expenses, they will make even the kids start smoking.
Exactly.
Exactly.
But that's just kind of a wild thought.
You know, my kids, I've got two that went to school, have monster debt.
The youngest doesn't have a monster debt.
He he went to school one year and said, Dad, it's not for me, so he's out in the workforce.
He's probably better off than the other two that have this debt that they'll they'll more than likely carry into the retirement years.
And it's just I feel bad for for kids coming up because we you know they go to school and they're the school year isn't any longer than it used to be.
The day isn't any longer than it used to be, yet we're still teaching them more than we ever have before.
And they're clearly not ready to go to college after twelve years.
So you know, Dale, I I I gotta tell you, in the Obama economy, they're living at home until they're twenty-five anyway.
So why not just keep them in high school for a few more years?
If they're gonna be kids and not have to take responsibility for their health care or anything else, treat them like kids still.
Yeah, it maybe that's a good idea.
I I have to say this, though.
I I grew up in Dubai.
I went to the Jumera American School, now the American school in Dubai.
It was a very, very, very good school.
And when I came home, we moved home in 1990 before the Gulf War started.
And I got to Jackson, Louisiana, rural part of the state in the Felicianas, East Feliciana, which was even poorer than West Feliciana.
And one of the poorest parts of the state, everything was owned by the state government.
And I was so far ahead of the kids in my tenth grade class.
I mean, vastly far ahead.
The for example, I had started taking uh physics, chemistry, and biology.
I had them in seventh, eighth and ninth grade and was getting into tenth grade, and they were only just starting with some of these classes.
When I got to college, my college biology book was my ninth or eighth grade biology book.
Um I had to memorize every country in the world, their capitals and major features.
When I was in eighth grade geography, and these kids, they had no clue what was fifty miles away from them, and and they were wonderful people.
But the point here is that there was for about, oh, I don't know, 3,000 years, a way that you taught kids, and there was a method to it.
And then you hit the 1960s, and suddenly teaching kids the way they'd been taught for 3,000 years was oppressive misogynist and racist.
And we needed to latch on to education trends.
There are there are good schools where poor children go.
In fact, in South Georgia, Tifton, Georgia, it's one of the top 100 school systems in the country.
It is a rural area of farmers.
They are they tend to be below the median income level in the country.
Many of them are below poverty, and the kids are succeeding because the school system there long ago conscientiously made the decision to not do the education trends and do with the methodology they've always done.
And it works.
Teaching, reading, writing, arithmetic, hey, it worked for 3,000 years one way.
Why must we change?
Now, I'm not a b big believer.
When people say, well, just because we've always done it that way doesn't make it so I I'm right there with them.
I agree.
Just because you've done something one way doesn't mean that you need to keep doing it that way.
But that way worked, and the new way doesn't work.
No, I'm I'm completely in agreement with you.
Um, I I I again I feel bad for the kids.
You know, we we don't teach them any living skills.
I mean, that's one thing that that my kids haven't a clue.
I mean, they're not ready to leave the nest yet.
And and I don't know if that's my fault or if that's just society in general, but we don't teach them living skills.
I I don't know uh when I went to school it was home economics.
I mean, that was a that was a Oh, you can't do that anymore.
That's misogynist.
Uh I know, but you know, when I live when I left the house, I I knew how to do more than boil water.
Uh it's just the whole thing frustrates me.
I I again I feel bad for the kids.
Um and uh, you know, I I I feel bad because I was kind of a part of it.
Um and uh there's not much I can do uh other than throw crazy ideas like this out.
Well, listen, uh Dale, look, I appreciate the phone call.
Listen to this story I I've got here.
Snerdley found this.
It it is to his credit that I have this story.
I I wouldn't have seen it.
A Bronx Community College will be offering a new program in food studies in the fall.
The Hostis Community College program will go beyond traditional culinary courses.
Get this.
The New York Times says the students will study the benefits of processed versus unprocessed foods.
They'll create their own farmers market on campus.
And here's the kicker.
The program will offer a broad overview of food policy, social justice, environment, health, science, and business policy.
The goal will be to prepare students for jobs as technicians, analysts, and nutritionists.
In other words, the goal will be to prepare them to be liberals.
What does food have to do with social justice?
What is social justice have to do with an education?
People are going into debt in society to go to school to get a degree in puppetry arts, to get a degree in social justice related to food.
This is why our country's standards are going down.
Listen to this tragedy.
Welcome back, by the way.
It is Eric Erikson here.
800 282 2882 is the number.
Listen to this.
Federal authorities say an immigrant was out on bond and awaiting deportation hearings when he was when he killed a Phoenix area convenience store clerk over a pack of cigarettes.
This is the first sentence the Associated Press.
Federal authorities say an immigrant was out on bond and awaiting deportation hearings when he killed a Phoenix area convenience store clerk over a pack of cigarettes.
What word is missing there?
How about illegal?
Illegal.
Critics notice it's critics say the shooting is an example of the lax immigration policies put into place by the Obama administration.
Directives issued by former ICE Director John Morton in 2011 provided new guidelines for deportation that focused on dangerous criminals with gang ties, or who had been convicted of serious felonies.
So now Alta Morano.
He was that's the guy's last name.
He was free on bond when two injunctions against harassment were issued against him.
In one order, a woman accused him of threatening to kill her, pointing a gun at her boyfriend.
Another order, the last one was issued January 14th.
He's now facing first degree murder charges.
Am I allowed to say that maybe just maybe the Republicans shouldn't have broken their word on fighting the president over executive amnesty?
Can I can I say that after reading this story that this guy he was he was out on bond awaiting deportation hearings.
He is an illegal alien.
Now I realize the story yes, you're right.
He must have had a bright smile and friends who cared for him deeply.
An illegal immigrant.
Now the Associated Press doesn't want you to know that.
They don't want you to say that.
Now he this is his only conviction.
His only conviction.
A store clerk is dead over a pack of cigarettes by an illegal alien let out on bond while awaiting deportation.
I wonder if President Obama will go to the convenience store clerk's funeral.
I wonder if John Boehner or Mitch McConnell will send their regards to the store clerk after having broken their promise to fight the president over executive amnesty.
Let's go to the phones.
John, Prince William County, Virginia.
How are ya?
I I'm good.
I I I know you have a particular time that we have to close and call in, but my story might be longer.
I would hope that you would listen to the Well, let's see if we can get to it.
Go ahead.
I listen to you often.
I listen to Rush Often.
I listen to QuickPen often.
Um I'm um Company B, 5003rd.
You guys say sip and tree.
Um brigade, you know, one hundred first warm division.
Um I have four sons.
My oldest son went to the Naval Academy, so I didn't have to pay for him at all.
You get a free console education.
Good.
Um my third son did his stuff in college education and construction, and he's in land service engineering.
He took care of it all by himself.
My two younger sons went to James Madison University.
We got Pell Grants.
Pell grants were from George Bush.
Thank you very much.
But they weren't that much money.
And we had to do student loans and stuff like that.
Um I lost my wife.
She passed away.
Um I kept my kids in school.
They only have twenty thousand dollars left in their you know college debt they have to bring back.
Uh one went to Arizona with his grandparents.
He's now a gaming official who he did um criminal justice and political science.
And um he meters Indian casinos in the state of Arizona.
Oh wow.
It's not Devada.
You know, but he was he was a clerk first, and he, you know, with his degree.
You know, he is now a gaming official.
But you were able to get them through college.
I got them all through it.
It was a horrible thing to get through.
You're losing my wife and everything like that.
My other son um became a chief engineer, and um he finished George Herbert Bush, the carrier.
Oh, fantastic.
He's they all the engineers sign their name in the bow plate.
Nice.
He is one of these guys.
Now he's in Denver, Colorado with his wife.
His wife is a chief surgeon of Swedish hospital, cardiac um you know, surgeon assistant, chief of nurses in the cardiac hospital, and um we did it.
Obama didn't pay for nothing.
And eat programs that they took from there are liberals listening to you right now, John, who are saying, Well, you your your kids, they went into the military, so they use taxpayer dollars.
Yeah, and I went in the military too.
My father is a retired Navy Admiral.
And God bless you all for your service.
And the fact that that liberals can't nuance the differences between your situation and getting just a direct handout from the government.
No, actually, this is this is very funny, and um, I wanted to talk about Chris Plant this morning.
I couldn't get into him.
Um my my second son, William, we went to um American sniper last night.
Mm-hmm.
And um he said, Whoa, when we got out of there.
He said, Whoa, I didn't realize what you did.
I went to Grenada.
I never went to Iraq.
I never went to you know, I never went, you know, to Afghanistan.
I'm too old.
I mean, but um he said, Did you really do this?
I'm like, Yeah.
Yeah, we did this.
And he was like, Whoa.
Well, yeah, yeah, you know, look, John, thanks very much for the phone call, and and th this is a testament to the American spirit that liberals don't particularly care for anymore.
The the self-reliance.
Listen, people hear rush, they hear me, they hear conservatives, and they say, Well, you just don't think government should exist.
You just don't think government should do anything, and yet you got student loans.
Government belongs in its proper sphere.
In its proper place.
I'm not a libertarian.
Now I think libertarian principles, Reagan was right, that they form a foundation for a lot of conservatism.
But government belongs in its proper place, and it is spilled out of its proper place, out of its sphere, into all of our lives.
Government subsidy has driven up the cost of education.
But here are people like John, who went to the military, his sons went to the military.
He lost his wife.
But they were able to make ends meet.
Yes, there was a there was a Pell Grant in one case.
But there was also saving their money.
There was also getting loans to go to college.
There were scholarships along the way.
There was military service.
It was not, hey Obama, write me a check, or hey, let's make it free for everybody.
I suspect that if they couldn't make ends meet, if the kids couldn't get the loans, if they didn't qualify for the grants, they might not have gone to college.
And but they wouldn't be parking their butt out in front of the White House with a sign saying, Give me a free education.
They took it upon themselves.
Look, government has a place in society.
We're not anarchists here.
The problem is liberals believe government's role is in everything.
In fact, liberals who say Republicans need to get out of the bedroom, they want government in the bedroom.
They want government in the relationship with you and your doctor.
They want government in charge of your pantry.
They want government in your garage.
Liberals want government at your local pharmacy.
Liberals want government everywhere.
I have long advocated the fact that we should start conducting all of our business in people's bedrooms, as for the longest time liberals said that was the one place they didn't want government.
But now they want government even there.
If it's not prohibited, they will make it mandatory.
Government has a role in society, first and foremost, to keep us safe from bad guys.
But liberals have decided that government is the great social change mechanism.
They have decided that government should control every aspect of our lives.
No, it shouldn't.
Not only should government not control every aspect of our lives, but in fact, the way the founders intended, the way the natural law the left sometimes wants to rely on says the way the Declaration of Independence states it.
Government should not control us.
We should control government.
Eric Erikson in Farush.
We'll be back.
Before I get back to phone calls, I need to make a point.
I was I've been racking my brain, actually, through the last couple of calls, because I had a point I wanted to make, and I totally forgot it.
It was like it was there, but I just couldn't, it couldn't materialize.
Now I remember what I wanted to say.
In all these discussions about taxing 529 accounts, the the child tax credits, the the budget, Republican plans for taxes, democratic plans for taxes.
Friends, the purpose of the tax code is to fund the government, not to socially engineer society.
And Republicans are as bad about this as Democrats.
We should not be using the tax code to shape society in the way we see fit.
Look, there are ways I want society to be shaped.
But I don't want to use the tax code to do it.
The purpose of the tax code is to fund the government.
It is not to redistribute money.
It is not to encourage families, it is not to discourage families, it is not to shape families in such a way that they take a certain avenue in life.
It is not to direct your path in life, it is not to incentivize or disincentivize corporate behavior.
It is to raise money to fund the government to fight wars, to to do the things that government in its proper sphere should do and nothing else.
And Republicans and Democrats alike, this is why I want to get rid of the income tax.
They use it as a way to socially engineer society.
They use it as a way to reward their preferred interest groups.
They use it as a way to punish those interest groups they do not like.
That's not the purpose of the tax code.
And we would be better off as a society if we started electing people to Washington and to our state legislatures who didn't want to use the tax code as a way to incentivize or disincentivize behaviors, but use it simply as a way to fund the government to do the things that it is constitutionally empowered to do.
Article 1, Section 8, powers of government and nothing else.
We would be far better off, our liberty more secure if we did that.
Back to the phones, Patty and Lafayette in New York, or is it Lafayette up there?
No, it's Lafayette, huh?
Oh, thank you.
You know, I'm in Georgia, right?
I'm a native of Louisiana, and it is Lafayette, Louisiana, but here in Georgia, for some reason it's Lafayette, in the same way that Vienna is Vienna here.
Oh, yeah, everybody has different ways of saying it.
One thing uh to lighten it up just a little bit, because after hearing John, I mean, thank God, John, you are the real example of America, the spirit and the soul.
Yes.
So God bless you, hon. Yes, I said the word God.
But the idea is every time we hear something bad, they always say New York State, New York State.
No, no, no, no, honey.
That's New York City.
It is true, yes.
Because upstate, like Watertown and Redfield, New York and Saranac Lake.
Honey, we love it.
God's country in New York.
Look, I can slip God into the conversation too, Patty.
Huh?
I can slip God in too and say, God's country up there in the the You know, I've got a uh some friends of mine who live on one of the finger lakes up there, and they tell me this all the time whenever I write about New York that that's the city, that's not the rest of us.
The problem for you guys, though, is that New York City is now so dominant in population and voting that it tilts the rest of the state towards its gutter.
No kidding, how are we gonna cut that guy off?
We need uh one of those giant fences, you know, like they're doing over oh my mind's all.
I've got an idea for you.
I've got an idea.
Work on a campaign to convince people that New York City is just like the White House, and they will want to put a fence around it to keep you people out.
I i I keep saying all the time if we c if we would call the American border with Mexico the White House, they would put a fence around it.
I think that's what you need to do, Patty.
I think that's a good idea.
Look, I appreciate the phone call very much.
I've got another timeout here I'm gonna go take, and then I'll go on out and see if I can take one more call when we come back.
Eric Erickson, in for rush.
Welcome back, Eric Erickson, in for Rushland Ball.
It's been my pleasure today.
Before I get out of here, Emily from Canton, Georgia, wanted to go to Emily.
Welcome to the Rushland Ball show.
Thank you.
So what do you think about food justice?
So I just wanted to give you the brief definition.
Um, and it is that despite what socioeconomic status you've fallen, or if you're in food stamps or if you make a million dollars a year, that the thought process is you have a right to fresh and sustainable food.
Now, I work in the city.
In other words, you have a right to expensive food.
I'm sorry.
In other words, you have a right to expensive food.
Right.
I work really hard to pay for my expensive food.
I don't think I have a right to it.
Others do.
So okay.
Snurdley laughs at me whenever I say this, but I really like cooking.
I was a very picky eater when I grew up.
And I've gone to the point like this weekend.
Snurdley's gonna laugh at me for this.
I realize.
But I made fresh bread and turned it into buns, and I got lettuce from my garden from the window, and I ground oxtail and brisket and chuck, and I made the greatest hamburger you'll ever eat.
And I enjoy doing that.
It's a hobby.
Uh going through all the steps of doing that.
But I did not wear an apron, snurdly.
I didn't.
I was actually still in my church clothes.
I did it on Sunday.
I I did not.
Although I do have an awesome leather apron that was a gift that Snerdley doesn't like.
Nonetheless, I I like going through that.
I I like doing it.
It's relaxing to me to be in the kitchen cooking, to to start growing vegetables that I then incorporate into my gumbos.
But the outrage to me is that they want everybody else to live this way.
I don't expect other people to live this way.
They want people to shop on the the outside aisle of the grocery store, which is where all the expensive things are now.
The the fresh fruits, foods, the organics.
They want everybody to live the lifestyle they live.
Again, with liberalism, if it's not prohibited, it will be mandatory.
They want the poor to have to eat more expensive food.
So what are they gonna do?
They're gonna raise taxes on wealthier people and then subsidize the food choices of the poor.
But here's the other thing.
If you're working multiple jobs to make ends meet in Obama's economy so that you can qualify as a full time job, well, the food gets really expensive.
Really does.
Eric Ericson, in for rush.
We're out of time.
