“national security. Like have police and fire”
It never fails, when you challenge a liberal on their socialist policies, they always bring up things that people really see as necessary, and refuse to discuss egregious abuses of taxpayers like welfare, foodstamps, etc.
Come and take it.
"...And there are many things that we decide to do together like have our national security. Like have police and fire. What about the people that work at the National Institute of Health who are looking for a cure for cancer,” Schakowsky said.
Then, we will maintain our own national security, like we used to. Then, we will police ourselves and maintain our own fire safety--without unions. F--k the National Institute of Health; they are no more deserving of keeping their income than the rest of us. Get bent. Afterwards, you can come and try to take our money. You can have it after you take our guns and ammo.

What really bothers me is not so much that an obscure lefty congresswoman from a state famous for Democrat corruption and far-left politics i.e. Barack Obama is spouting collectivist nonsense but that Illinois citizens elected this woman despite her ignorance and arrogance. If that is what Americans are voting for, as they did with Obama and most of the Democrats in congress, we are in big trouble as a nation and a Republican electoral victory won't be able to change that unless we get a majority of conservatives into office, which is highly unlikely. Even if we did, the left effectively 'owns' the educational system, the media, entertainment industry and many churches as well as a good chunk of the political turf in many states, such as Illinois, making Americas future look less than rosy.
However, in human history, nothing ever remains the same over time and I retain the hope that our nations people, the ones that make America work, not the takers, will come to their senses, reject the collectivist dogma Democrats spout, albeit in code most of the time, and return our nation to the greatness that we are fully capable of attaining, again, if and when we, as Americans, throw off the shackles of the Big Government Nanny State we've allowed leftists politicians to pull us into. The 2012 election will be our opportunity and if we blow it and the Republicans nominate another RINO (like Romney) America is truly doomed.
Guessing she thinks everyone should have skin in the game, so then is she for a flat tax?
What are the chances of converting those eggheads who keep electing the likes of Schakowsky?
Dear COngresscritter Schakowsky:
Thank you so very much for providing us with a WONDERFUL campaign ad for the 2012 Elections.
Please do not stop showing us who you and your fellow Commun - err, Democrats - really are.
You’re doing a fine job of it.
Atta girl, Jan. Keep up with your delusions. Between you and Dumpy Washerwoman-Schultz, you're a laugh a minute.
BTW, thanks, Illinois for this gem.
Maybe one day there will be an open season with no bag limit on marxists.

Well I am late to this thread, but look, our country and our Constitution was not designed the way this lady thinks. We do not “agree” to do things. We send out representatives to Congress and a small block of states can more or less hold a large number of states hostage to projects and programs they don’t want or need.
The Brandeis method of allowing states the option to experiment with democracy is the correct way. If Mass wants free health care, let them have it! It could work for them because they only had 6% uninsured anyway when they started. In California with almost 20% uninsured it is not workable. We need other kinds of reforms.
I would like to boil it back down to the essences here. The Jobs program Obama pushed is a good “teaching point” for my theory. I am an employer. I hire a guy and agree to pay him $25 an hour. How is it that when I agree to pay %25 an hour I end up paying more like $32? Because I take on 7.5% SS tax, 1.5% Medicare tax, and other stuff. I say forget that. Strip the employee co-pay stuff out completely. If my deal is to pay $25 an hour, that is my deal. All “taxes” should come from the employers end. I say this not to be cold hearted, but because I believe this will be a way to show everyone, employers and employees, how the system is wasteful and rigged in many ways. If the guy who was promised $25 an hour finds out he is only taking home $17, he gets pissed! And he will want to reduce taxes, and reform medicare and SS. Right now too much of it is hidden from him.
So while I oppose Obama’s Jobs bill, I think the GOP could try to pocket the concessions they like. Take the 3% SS rebate Obama promised and make it a 7.5% rebate. Take it all out. They could try to force the employee to eat it but that would be a new tax (sort of) and not be good political strategy. However, simply removing the employee matching contributions would be a big boon to employers and, ultimately, very hard to bring back in a a year or two once it has gone away. Politically impossible, but worth an effort.
Unreal.......
