When Republicans let their Freudian slips show--work harder and die sooner

[eridani]

A Montana Republican state legislator wrote a letter saying so to his tenants. If you want the original pdf, drop me a PM.

You have heard about the national debt and the national deficit ... It is a problem and at some point in time your life and mine will become harder. It will become harder, because the money we have become accustomed to having or receiving is going to decrease. If it is hard for you to pay your bills now, it is going to become harder. The day is not too far down the road that you are going to have to work more overtime than you do, you will have friends and family that are out of work and loosing their place to stay…

This has given all of us in this country an inflated life-style. In short, all of us enjoy services and luxuries that we have not earned by our own hard work.. Every one of us is living a bit of fairly-tale [sic] life-style…

My recommendation is this;

•First, you accept that not everyone, including yourself, needs to live as long as they currently do, or as "comfortably" as they currently do.

•Second, you accept the fact that you and your neighbor are going to have to work harder than ever, maybe take a second or third job and live on less. ...

1. "A fairly-tale life-style"?

[ReRe]

2. "fairy-tale lifestyle"?

[Richardo]

3. Also: "loosing their place"

What an idiot.

11. I decided to keep the original spelling

Conservatives are morans who always cast asparagus at the general population.

4. My irony meter just exploded

A rentier complaining about others "enjoy{ing} services and luxuries that we have not earned by our own hard work".

9. Not to mention a politician saying that...!

"Hard work" and "politician" don't even belong on the same page, not to mention in the same sentence.

5. this is an enormously stupid man in a position of power.

[LisaLynne]

7. And incredibly morally bankrupt.

Scumbag. And that's an insult to scum and the bags that hold it.

[vlyons]

6. I'll bet he is strongly anti-abortion too

So there will be more and more women without access to reproductive healthcare, having more and more babies that they can't afford. Duhhhhh

[deutsey]

8. A smug, self-satisfied asshole

It's like someone who causes a horrible car accident sanctimoniously lecturing the victims strewn about the flaming wreckage that they need to drive more carefully.

10. K & R

[noiretextatique]

12. meanwhile, it's perfectly fine for him to stuck from the government teat

Federal Housing and Urban Development records also show at least $174,119 in subsidies going to low-income housing projects spearheaded by organizations in which Hagstrom played key roles. Those subsidies were part of the federal Low Income Housing Tax Credit program.

the hypocrisy is just stunning

13. So he's saying that "the American Dream" doesn't exist.

And our rejoinder should be that the Rs killed the American Dream.
