Rep. Bachmann: Take Your Two Jobs and Shove It (or Is It Them?)

By mikethemadbiologist on January 16, 2008.

Republican Rep. Michelle Bachmann (MN) is trying to prove that she is more stupid than the Gingrich disciple who thought we could eliminate the National Weather Service because the Weather Channel had it covered (really). To wit:

Today, Rep. Eric Cantor (VA), the chief deputy Republican whip in the House, unveiled his proposal to stimulate the economy. His legislation -- the so-called Middle Class Job Protection Act -- does nothing for the middle class. Instead, it reduces the corporate tax rate by 25 percent.

At a press conference today unveiling the stimulus proposal, Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) justified the conservative plan to give tax breaks to corporations -- instead of working Americans -- by arguing that people actually like working long hours:

I am so proud to be from the state of Minnesota. We're the workingest state in the country, and the reason why we are, we have more people that are working longer hours, we have people that are working two jobs.

Bachmann's version of the American Dream is apparently working two full-time jobs and struggling to get by.

Somehow, I don't think all of the workingest workers would agree with Bachmann....

It's the Middle Class Job Protection Act, that's all they need to know.
