Ron Johnson lets secret slip, "there is way too much political demagoguery out there that sounds good."

Our social safety nets are bankrupting us, or so says dumb Ron Johnson. Our "married into millions" Wisconsin senate genius, has apparently ruled out Wall Street and the too big-to-fail banks for the reason we're in this mess. Johnson is saying it’s the American people who are failing. They’re lazy, begging government to take care of them and tell them what to do, from cradle to grave. Sneaky Americans are at fault, not the banks.

But that’s not demagoguery, that’s just common sense. Like the lunacy Johnson offered up at the 2012 National Conservative Student Conference at George Washington University, where young minds are still inexperienced enough to believe this blowhard. 
Johnson told The Daily Caller about our youth: “…they don’t have the experience in the world in terms of what actually works, in terms of an economic model. And there is way too much political demagoguery out there that sounds good.”
It's true, the kids are too young to recognize just how much BS Johnson was handing out that day. 


Experience sure hasn’t made Johnson any smarter. “What actually works” didn’t work for the Republicans during the Bush administration. Even Republican free market deregulation, you know, the “economic model” that “actually works,” didn't work, and pushed us into the Great Recession.  

Johnson continued:
“It’s like President Obama says he’s all about making the rich pay their fair share. Does that imply that I don’t want the rich to pay their fair share? I mean I do, and the fact of the matter is the wealthiest 1 percent paid, in 2007, over 40 percent of the total income tax burden. And the bottom 95 percent paid less than that.”
95 percent of the dwindling middle class and poor didn’t make enough money to pay more taxes, you idiot, so it only makes sense that those with money...paid more the taxes? My head is hurting again.

  1. The American people have failed, that's real John Galt stuff there, from the pampered son-in-law who thinks he's a self-made man. At what point does Rojo tip over from self parody into horror?

    Rojo probably day dreams about what it would have been like in Ayn Rand's inner circle, but the truth is as soon as he left the room she would have asked "Who's that stupid bastard?"
