The Liberal Zone

Posted on February 8, 2014 by ScottC

Is there any better indication of the perverse nature of progressive ideology than that the left now declares it desirable that able-bodied workers will be able to choose not to work to support themselves as the result of taxpayer funded wealth transfers? It used to be the case that the left would dismiss with contempt the notion that its welfare policies discouraged people from working. Welfare was simply for the unfortunate few that couldn’t possibly support themselves, we were always told. Now, with the announcement from the CBO that Obamacare will result in 2 million fewer workers in the workforce, the true mindset of the left comes out. Paying government subsidies to people who can and do work to support themselves is now apparently a good thing precisely because it allows them to stop working to support themselves.

When it comes to the warped and disturbed, Rod Serling has nothing on the bizarre thinking of progressives.
