Cass Sunstein, President Barack Obama’s regulatory “czar,” contends that “most Americans are too wealthy for their own good. They are hogging more than a fair share of the world’s resources and becoming fat and lazy in the process.”
Sunstein suggested that “penalties for this country’s contribution to global warming would be an effective and efficient mechanism for achieving the transfer. Who can argue against saving the planet? And if it means American families couldn’t afford that second car or have to eat less meat, they’ll learn to walk more and eat their vegetables—boosting their own health along the way.”
The President’s czar, whose own wealth is far above the global per capita average, declined to lead by example, arguing that “those of us in the vanguard of change need to be amply rewarded for our contributions toward a better world.”

I, popcorn in hand, am going to sit back and watch the fun
You know why Americans are so fat? We have all the food. You know why we have all the food? WE MAKE IT!
This guys “Thinking” is WHY the Cabinet level Appointments should be (are) approved by Congress....you know...The Amercan people’s duly elected Representatives.
BHOle and company think they’re Dictators in a Republic......one of us is WRONG about who rules the People.
Many of the Obama voters while getting their free food stamps, free housing vouchers, free medical care all paid for by the taxes of wealthy Americans agree that “most Americans are too wealthy for their own good”.
and we MAKE IT...because we can SELL IT.
its a win, win situation the left just does not get.
Another nitwit communist spouting socialist psychobabble.
Sunstien needs to go.
Shall we start with the czars?
Hard to tell the satire from real news...which is a pretty sad state of affairs. I can easily imagine any number of "Czars" saying this...
sounds good to me
Spoken like a true communist.
Start with Soros. We need a strict NO BILLIONAIRES rule.
I thought satire was supposed to be fictional?
This is labeled as satire, but I’m not so sure it really is satire.

ELITIST.....vanguard of change? Better world.....
To think Repubbies helped get this guy a job....
Apparently Cass hasn’t been paying attention. It isn’t the people who are working hard to create the wealth that are fat and lazy. It is the people to whom the workers’ wealth gets “shared” that are fat and lazy. Can anyone say “welfare”?
I agree. The people sitting around on their a**es waiting for handouts have to be the biggest hogs in the field.
Can someone please get rid of this clown for us. Rush? Glenn? OReilly? anyone?
How about our elected officials. Democrats AND republicans should be able to agree on getting rid of these usurpers to their power.
