Ronald Reagan Quotes


A moment I've been dreading. George brought his ne're-do-well son around this morning and asked me to find the kid a job. Not the political one who lives in Florida. The one who hangs around here all the time looking shiftless. This so-called kid is already almost 40 and has never had a real job. Maybe I'll call Kinsley over at The New Republic and see if they'll hire him as a contributing editor or something. That looks like easy work.

This incredible quotation was actually typical of many of the extremist right wing views that Angle had. Very few conservatives who may have problems with the unemployment insurance system believe that the benefits are so generous that anyone would possibly be spoiled from the benefit. An unemployed family head, who may have been middle class, if he or she lost a job and while looking for another is supported by unemployment in almost all cases will be below the poverty level. This is hardly a standard of living that would spoil anyone. The voters of Nevada certainly thought so as they defeated Angle at the polls.
