\"Listen<\/a><\/p>\n

RUSH: Look, I don\u2019t want to spend too much time on this<\/a>, but this does light my fire. These attacks on the traditions and the institutions, which have not only made the country great, but define human greatness — and permit it and promote it and inspire it — make me livid. This actually gets my juices going. It may be just a campaign technique, and it probably is, but I\u2019m not going to rule out the possibility that this is what they would like our society to be: a bunch of people not working, depending on them. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t have any doubt about that. They look upon “urine” — European socialized democracies with envy like you can\u2019t believe. (Maybe urine, too, for all I know.) But it\u2019s disturbing, folks. It is profoundly disturbing, \u2019cause they\u2019re not gonna stop. Chuck Schumer is not gonna stop working. Barack Obama\u2019s not gonna stop working. Well, he may. He never really started. But, I mean, they\u2019re not gonna do this. These leftist Hollywood rich, they\u2019re not gonna stop working.<\/p>\n

They\u2019re not gonna take their own advice on this. <\/p>\n

This is simply about dumbing down the people they claim to be helping and supporting and all that, and they\u2019re ruining people\u2019s lives. Whether it\u2019s a campaign ploy or whether they really mean it, it doesn\u2019t matter. It\u2019s just something to me that has to be fought on the educational front. Now, this whole thing… I\u2019m telling you, this whole notion that work is a punitive thing and that not having to work is a liberating thing, freeing you from bunch of rotten choices and still being able to have your health care, that\u2019s what this is really all about. <\/p>\n

It\u2019s about saving Obamacare and saving the Democrat Party from Obamacare, because, in the normal set of circumstances, this would have destroyed the party that came up with it. It would have ruined their electoral chances — and it may have done that, by the way. But in a last-gasp effort to save themselves, they\u2019re now tarnishing and trashing work as a means of building up Obamacare. This is exactly what the CBO report said<\/a>. Let\u2019s go back, from Reuters:<\/p>\n

“In its latest US fiscal outlook, the nonpartisan CBO said the health law would lead some workers, particularly those with lower incomes, to limit their hours to avoid losing federal subsidies that Obamacare provides to help pay for health insurance and other health care costs.” That\u2019s being forgotten by the Drive-Bys. The Drive-Bys, the media, they\u2019re now pretending that the CBO said that Obamacare will allow people to leave their jobs, not force them to work, in order to keep their subsidy.<\/p>\n

Obamacare is forcing people out of work. So the Democrats are moving in and trying to claim that this is a choice they have now given people. “You think you\u2019re being forced out, but actually this is what we planned all along \u2019cause we love you. We want you to have your health care, and we want you to not have to work for it — and, voila We\u2019ve done it!” When in truth, real-life circumstances are forcing people to do whatever they can to get a subsidized policy because that\u2019s all they can afford. <\/p>\n

Remember, all of this is mandated by law. At some point whenever this damn thing gets implemented, everybody\u2019s gonna have to have an insurance plan, an insurance policy. It\u2019s the law, and most people can\u2019t afford it. The mainstream media never mentions that the only choice that these poor people are facing is either, one, lower their income by way of lowering their hours, or lose their subsidy. Those are the choices. <\/p>\n

Those are the choices the Democrat Party has offered them, not this liberating from the choice of having to work nonsense. No. The wonderful choice that now we\u2019re supposed to be celebrating is one of two things. Either lower your income and qualify for a subsidy, or lose the subsidy. That\u2019s the choice people have. Because they can\u2019t afford it, otherwise, folks. Did you notice how the Drive-Bys tried to turn this around for the Democrats? <\/line><\/p>\n

Every single outlet, every one of rushed out a “fact check” on the CBO report, and every one of them made the same claim. They said that the CBO wasn\u2019t talking about jobs. “When they said that 2.5 million people would leave the workforce, that didn\u2019t mean there would be 2.5 million fewer jobs. No, no!” That\u2019s what they all, in unison, said. But that was never the point. The real point is the CBO said that people would cut back on their hours to the equivalent of 2.5 million jobs in order to lower their income so that they could keep getting their Obamacare subsidies. <\/p>\n

The fact checks never even tried to dispute that. This has all been an effort here to confuse everybody and take what was just a horrible report about 2.5 million people losing their jobs, or reducing their hours in order to qualify for subsidies. That\u2019s what the CBO said. That had to be turned around. That is devastating. That\u2019s another nail in the coffin of the Democrat Party. That had to be turned around, and that\u2019s how they\u2019re doing it. “Oh, we\u2019re liberating you from having to work!”<\/p>\n

Once again they\u2019re appealing to the lowest common denominator. They\u2019re going after the low-information voter and trying to make it look like this is one of the greatest inventions, and now they\u2019ve got all of this scholarship, these professors and all these fall-right-in-line columnists who are now saying, “Well, you know what? This might actually be a good thing! The pursuit of the happiness is the pursuit of leisure.” <\/p>\n

Ross Douthat has a column in the New York Times<\/a>. I don\u2019t know how to interpret this. I\u2019m told that Ross Douthat is a “conservative” in, ah, the same vein as David Brooks. His piece ran on February 8th, so that would be Saturday. It\u2019s for the Sunday Review, and I think it posted Saturday night. It\u2019s “Leaving Work Behind,” and I don\u2019t know if he\u2019s advocating or mocking it. I just don\u2019t know. I\u2019m share with you some parts of this. <\/p>\n

“When economists look ahead to the possibilities awaiting our grandchildren, they often see this divide widening even further, as the digital economy delivers rich rewards to certain kinds of highly educated talent, while revolutions in robotics eliminate many of today\u2019s low-skilled, low-wage jobs,” and it goes on couple\/three paragraphs. On the third hand, “this is where liberalism has a very important choice to make.<\/line><\/p>\n

“It\u2019s possible to defend Obamacare\u2019s overall goals while also recognizing its potentially perverse effects, and conceding that we should try to minimize the number of low-skilled workers exiting the labor market. But it\u2019s also possible to argue that as a rich, post-scarcity society, we shouldn\u2019t really care that much about whether the poor choose to work. The important thing is just making sure they have a decent standard of living, full stop, and if they choose Keynesian leisure over a low-paying job, that\u2019s their business.” <\/p>\n

I honestly don\u2019t know whether he is supporting that, criticizing that, or throwing it up as a possibility we have to consider. You know, \u2019cause much of opinion media today is (paraphrasing): “Well, on the one hand, you could do this. On the other hand I could understand not wanting to do that — and then in the middle, some people could choose to do both. I don\u2019t want to be confused with agreeing with the other side, but the possibilities are limitless here. <\/p>\n

We might have to someday consider the possibility, in our ‘post-scarcity society, that we shouldn\u2019t really care that much about whether the poor choose to work\u2019 or not. It\u2019s none of our business, as long as they have ‘a decent standard of living,\u2019 but don\u2019t associate me with that! I\u2019m just saying some people think that. Some people might not think that. Some people might think half of that.” <\/p>\n

Anyway, we\u2019re bending and shaping ourselves into all sorts of pretzeled forms in order it is not to criticize this. The “post-scarcity society.” Have you heard of that, Snerdley? “But it\u2019s also possible to argue that as a rich, post-scarcity society, we shouldn\u2019t really care that much about whether the poor choose to work” or not. Oh, and then there\u2019s this part, too: “[I]t\u2019s not always clear whether this larger welfare state is supposed to promote a link between work, security and mobility, or to substitute for work\u2019s gradual decline.”<\/p>\n

Now, I\u2019ve always thought… (snort)<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve always thought that the ultimate aim of welfare was to get people back work. <\/p>\n

But I guess I\u2019ve been wrong about that!<\/p>\n

Now, I know that some of you have always suspected the poor were a bunch of lazy bums and never intended to work, and you may have been right because now it says here in the New York Times: “it\u2019s not always clear whether this larger welfare state is supposed to promote” work! Anyway, so when the Democrats are trying to come up with a campaign tactic, we get this kind of thing and others — in all sorts of learned, scholarly opinions columns and journals — trying to make it sound brilliant and deep. When it\u2019s a surface — pure surface — emotional play. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: We\u2019re gonna start in Chicago. Bob, great to have you, sir. Thank you for waiting, and welcome to the EIB Network. Hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Rush Baby, how are you doing today?<\/p>\n

RUSH: I\u2019m pretty good, sir. Thank you.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Fantastic. I\u2019m driving through middle Illinois looking at all these farms and seeing all these truck drivers drive past me, smoking my Hoyo de Monterrey Excalibur, and Rush, I don\u2019t get it. These people, the liberal elites, they do not get it. You used to have to work to put food on your table. You used to have to plow the farm. You used to have to slaughter the pigs to put food on your table. And nowadays they just go to the grocery store and they say, “Well, it\u2019ll come, you know, we have money, we can go buy our groceries and stuff.” Do you know how many people listen to you, Rush? You got truck drivers, you got farmers. If you were to say to farmers and truck drivers, “Hey, adopt a liberal mentality and slow down. Don\u2019t work so much,” and the food starts to become scarce, we can prove to these liberal Democrat idiots that their policies don\u2019t work, by proof, not by just complaining, by proof, Rush.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, the thing is that I don\u2019t think it\u2019s gonna work. People aren\u2019t gonna starve themselves just to prove that liberals are idiots. You don\u2019t need to do that. We already know that, and you don\u2019t need to starve yourself. The farmers, the agricultural people, don\u2019t need to get sick just to make a point. And again, what I meant when I said that Obama\u2019s not gonna quit working. Schumer\u2019s not gonna quit working. Take your favorite name of any prominent liberal, they\u2019re not gonna stop working. They\u2019re not gonna stop working. <\/p>\n

They don\u2019t really mean this. What they\u2019re doing is running a cheap campaign ploy. They are attempting to tell hapless people that there is a, “Oh, Lordy, why, you have been liberated. You no longer have to work because of us. You can quit your job. You can get rid of your job and we can give you health care. Vote for us.” That\u2019s what they\u2019re doing. And like they\u2019ve done for most of my life, they are in the process of destroying the human capacity of the people who support them, by advocating that these people just lay down, essentially. Just give up, all for their votes. <\/p>\n

You can go through all these stories. You will not find one of these advocates for what I would call the “Quit Work” Movement, you don\u2019t find one of them, not one, raising the question, “Well, who is gonna produce the money for them not to work?” Because they know somebody has to. They know somebody has to work. I mean, these great liberal columnists, they\u2019re not gonna quit working. F. Chuck Todd\u2019s not gonna quit working. David Gregory\u2019s not gonna quit working. They\u2019re not gonna do this. Everybody that\u2019s responsible knows that work is how you provide for yourself. Look, this is sophistry to even have to remind people of this. <\/line><\/p>\n

The real problem here is that once again the Democrat Party is attempting to grow and expand the lowest common denominator as the majority of the country. On a personal level it just insults me, what they\u2019re doing to people. It\u2019s sophistry to tell the people in this audience. The people in this audience don\u2019t need to be educated about the purpose of work. I don\u2019t think the Obama stash ladies are listening<\/a>. But that\u2019s the point. The Obama stash ladies, these are the people in Detroit. Obama\u2019s first year they were awarding some sort of very limited subsidy for housing and there\u2019s not enough to go around, like there never is in liberalism, and there are thousands of people lined up. <\/p>\n

So our affiliate in Detroit, WJR, sends a guy into the crowd to ask \u2019em why they\u2019re there. “Well, we\u2019re here for our rent subsidy.” <\/p>\n

“Where\u2019s it coming from?” <\/p>\n

“From Obama.” <\/p>\n

“Really? Where\u2019s he get it?” <\/p>\n

“From his stash.” <\/p>\n

“Where did he get it?”<\/p>\n

“I don\u2019t care. We don\u2019t know.” <\/p>\n

Now, had I been president, that would embarrass me, is my point. It would embarrass me to think that people that voted for me think I\u2019m their dad, that I\u2019m taking care of them, and I wouldn\u2019t put up with it. But people like Obama, the Democrats, live off of it. This is my point. They promote it, they encourage it, and then they excuse these people who aren\u2019t working and who don\u2019t know how to work, never been taught how. They blame that somehow on the Republicans. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Here\u2019s Kathy, Grand Blanc, Michigan, great to have you on the EIB Network. Hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hi, Rush. So fun to talk to you. I had a comment about the discussion you were having on work being the new social issue for the Democrat campaign.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Oh, cool.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I\u2019ve wondered for a long time, I kind of saw this coming. I\u2019ve been listening to you since the early nineties and I paid attention to the rise of the welfare state.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Thank you. I am so happy to hear that you\u2019ve been paying attention, really.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, I actually wonder what took them so long to actually come out and say it, but it must have been the CBO report. What I wonder, though, is why the Republicans don\u2019t talk to the funders of all these programs, the taxpayers? We\u2019re out here, we\u2019re waiting for —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Wait a second. I can answer that. I can answer that in a generic sense. I ran into something, and I don\u2019t have it at my fingertips here, but you know it and I know it, and we\u2019ve suspected it, even talked about it before. But I ran into it over the weekend. Republican consultants advised both McCain in \u201908, Romney in 2012: do not criticize Obama. Do not say negative things about Obama. That\u2019s the Republican consultancy class. Do not go after Obama. It\u2019s racial, Kathy. Don\u2019t go after the Democrats \u2019cause Obama leads them, it\u2019s racist, just don\u2019t go there. The American people do not want to hear Obama criticized. That\u2019s what they\u2019re told.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
