Rand Paul Tells Poor People That Food Equals Slavery

by Jason Easley at Politicus USA

"SNIP.......................


Let’s follow Paul’s ideology to its logical conclusion. Poor people are enslaved when the government provides them with food or housing assistance. Thus, inn order for the poor to be free, the government must take away all assistance so that the poor are free to be homeless and starve. That is Rand Paul’s definition of freedom.

Rand Paul views any benefit that the people receive from the government that they fund as a form of servitude. Unemployment insurance is slavery. Medicare is slavery. Health insurance for children, and medical care for pregnant women are both slavery. In Sen. Paul’s view, the government only gives people things in order to enslave them.

Paul’s views are no different than Romney’s 47% comments, or the Republican belief that Americans only support President Obama because they want free stuff. Rand Paul dresses up his rhetoric in the language of libertarianism, but he is really just the same old far right ideologue with some new buzzwords.

Sen. Paul is offering a less refined version of what Mitt Romney offered the country in 2012. But Rand Paul is more extreme than Romney because he really believes what he is saying.

3. He's the squeeky wheel that gets the oil. But the GOP were all for cutting

food stamps. They just don't say it out loud as much as he does.

2. Ya see, this passes as truth in certain circles, when you do not have a strong alternative voice.

and it's believed. Then made into a "fact". All the while our leaders, the ones that are supposed to call bullshit on this?

Silence.

4. Norfed Rand does not know when to stop it.
