More idiocy from DC

I know I shouldn’t be, but I’m still baffled by the stupid things people say.

"We see [health care] as an entrepreneurial bill, a bill that says to someone, if you want to be creative and be a musician or whatever, you can leave your work, focus on your talent, your skill, your passion, your aspirations because you will have health care." --House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA)

For some reason, I still find it hard to believe that someone in her position could be so intent on destroying the hard work and ingenuity that has made America great in the past. Nancy wants to be our Nanny. You don’t want to work? Not to worry, the rest of America that does work will take care of you while you play with your guitar. There’s a whole bunch of Americans who have way too much money, so we’ll just take a bunch of it to make sure you still have your health care.

My brother, Matthew, is a very talented artist. As of yet, he doesn’t make much money at it. So in the meantime, he works a “real” job so he can pay the bills. Sounds like a good plan to me. I love him, but I’m not going to support him until he can make his own money with his painting. And there’s no reason any of you should have to either. Thankfully, he would never ask us to.
