I'm usually not a big fan of Charlie Rose, but in this case I'll take his advice over the advice from the First Wookie.

For the common Democrat, “Vote, Vote, Vote” is “Work, Work, Work”. It directly translates to leisure time, money for nothing and chicks for free.

"He advised his audience to, “Work, work, work.” And she advised hers to, “Vote, vote, vote.”

That's because Moochelle has never worked a day in her life. She has always gotten by on the efforts of others.

and yet Charlie Rose has dedicated virtually his entire career to advancing the opposing view

Great article up until “yes, we should all vote.”

No, we really shouldn’t. I’m trying to think of even one time in my life where my showing up at the polls had even the slightest impact. Can’t think of one.

Working, even at mundane tasks like stacking the dishwasher, has a direct and beneficial impact on your life. Not so with voting.

“”One view sees individual effort as the means whereby progress is achieved, and the other view sees the political process as the means whereby progress may be acquired as an entitlement from government.””

I believe the observations were the writer’s - not Rose’s. He stressed WORK WORK WORK in his commencement address and the writer took it from there. I could be wrong but no matter, the writing is excellent. It would be super if the writer could write the commencement addresses for everyone from now on! HA!

Does anyone recall the commencement address from their high school days? I certainly don’t and probably forgot its content by the next day. That’s when I went out and applied for a job at Cornell University and went to work the day after that!! It never dawned on any of us NOT TO WORK. If we didn’t plan on college it was work - for me and most of my classmates - until I was 70 years old. Can attest that it didn’t hurt a bit. Certain segments of our society ought to try it.
