“I’ll put it this way, you don’t deserve to keep all of it. It’s not a question of deserving, because what government is, is those things that we decide to do together," Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D-IL) told the Don Wade & Roma show on WLS-AM.

"I think you need to pay your fair share for things we've decided are our national priorities," Schakowsky added.

Socialist.

...because what government is, is those things that we decide to do together...

I do not recall being allowed to decide on the bloat or existence of the EPA, DOE, Dept. of Education, etc...

[jessduntno]

“I think you need to pay your fair share for things we’ve decided are our national priorities,” Schakowsky added.”

But...we have no say in what those priorities are.

Oh. I forgot. We’re all socialists now.

[dragonblustar]

Jan Schakowsky you don’t deserve your paycheck. Hand it over to me now!

[John S Mosby]

“Things we’ve decided”.... Who’s the “WE” Schanko baby? That is the point... “you” direct thus in all of these machine driven unpopular socialist crap programs of the new world order of leftist. We aren’t buying it, and we won’t pay for it. And uh, you’re gone in 2012 if there is a God and voters finally get it.

[SMARTY]

“I think you need to pay your fair share for things we've decided are our national priorities,”

Why do Liberals insist on telling and re telling these howling lies” Why does the MSM swallow their lies whole?

For decades, American taxpayers have been paying taxes (and more all the time) for numerable government relief services for the needy. THIS is over and above the many and generous charitable donations Americans routinely make.

Why do Liberal (Communist) politicians always get away with making Americans sound like greedy and uncaring brutes who DO NOT and NEVER WILL pay their own way ... and THEN SOME?

[BO Stinkss]

Yawn.... Same thing they’ve been saying. She just used fewer words.

[Qbert]

Totalitarian leftist.

[edpc]

Funniest part of the full 4+ minutes at the source is the fact she claims to be in the 35% tax bracket and is willing to pay more for "national priorities."

Wanna bet her itemized tax returns say something different....?

Because we are not a democracy but have a representative government, technically she is correct. We elect people to represent us and to make decisions on the governmental level. Even the hated EPA(spit) was put into place by elected officials

If we don't like the decisions they are making we vote them out and put representatives in that more reflect our values. That is why elections are so important.

Constitutionally we are "doing this together".

I don't agree with how she said it; it comes across as arrogant and elitist.

We do need to take this country back, though.

[DManA]

She’s getting close but that’s not really what they believe. They believe EVERYTHING is theirs and they LET YOU HAVE some of it.

[Humble Servant]

“I think you need to pay your fair share for things we’ve decided are our national priorities,”

And taking your money is our highest priority.

[DManA]

Constitutionally we are “doing this together”.

The Federal Government is way way way beyond the bounds of the Constitution.

[bubbacluck]

Then we need to vote in people who will do the right thing.

[Aevery_Freeman]

Ninety-seven percent retention ought to be about correct. Should be able to run an effective, non-interventionist military, secure the borders and run the government on three percent of GDP collected from the states.

[MrB]

"I think you need to pay your fair share for things we've decided are our national priorities," Schakowsky added.

These elitist bastards need to face some consequences.

Of all the elitist crap... YOU need to pay for what WE decide it should be spent on.

[arkady_renko]

Heard the interview live. Go to WLS and listen to the whole thing.

What had me flabbergasted was her contention that Obama has been the most pro-Israel president EVER. She is shocked that NY-9 went the way it did because of the Jewish vote. Don't the Jews know what a friend Obama has been to them?

Doesn't Jan realize Obama's vaunted Arab Spring has brought great danger to Israel, as evidenced by the sacking of the Israeli Embassy in Egypt?

[MrB]

We need to take away their positions of power,
not just put “our people” in positions of power,

but ELIMINATE the positions of power, and the power of the positions that can’t be constitutionally eliminated.

This statement is why you hear the term ‘the ruling class’ more and more in the MSM. At one time this term was used primarily in describing the executive and congress.

Lately, I have noticed ‘the ruling class’ being used to describe all bureaucrats of any kind. Judges, Cops, even the lady at the DMV is now the ruling class.

American society is being formally divided into those who are IN government or government services, and those who work to pay the government.

The concept of a public ‘servant’ is gone as is any notion of ‘representation’. This is a full blown take-over of America by a gang of cronies, elitists, and their friends. We are, or are becoming, a completely government controlled police-like state.

We can thank the establishment of the single party system known as the (RNC/DNC) and the actual people they truly work for. (hint: it aint us)
