Mitt Romney Is Kinda Stupid

[Angrboda]

I think it goes back to what Boru said in the OP: “Doing things that make your constituents lives better isn’t a bribe. It is - literally - your fucking job.” The more I look at politics, the more convinced I become that not only does the right (especially in America) reject that premise, but that rejection is the defining characteristic; everything else follows from that. If anything they do benefits anyone besides themselves, plutocrats, the police/military/anyone who makes their living with firearms, and maybe hate groups, it's almost certainly by accident.

The government does things for the COLLECTIVE good - not for individual dead beat pissants who would rather buy a new gaming system than pay loans they are morally obligated to pay.

You mean like spending tax dollars creating student aid and grants to improve the collective good by making college affordable?
