Charles Murray Quotes

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.

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.
