The Politics of Self-Pity

WASHINGTON

Republicans relished their philosophy of personal responsibility last week
with John Belushi's famous mantra: Cheeseburgercheeseburgercheeseburger.

When the House passed the "cheeseburger bill" to bar people from suing
fast
food joints for making them obese, Republican backers of the legislation
scolded Americans, saying the fault lies not in their fries, but in
themselves.


Ther goes your second career as a cheeseburger litigator.

One idea that's central to every progressive agenda is that taxes
should be scaled to value. Yes, it's bad for me,

Prove it.

just as it is for
you, but I don't begrudge it.

You're practically a ward of the state.

You have the quaint idea that you
"earn" your inflated salary because of some divine right,

BS, I worked for it.

but the
reality is you were simply favored by the luck of your birthright.

How did Midnite get his?

This has nothing to do with responsibility for poor eating
habits.
You remain insignificant.

That 'luck' is a gift we all want to give to our children.

Please, I would prefer not to know.
Hopefully they are 21 already.

How, exactly, did you give that "gift" to children whose existence
you deny?

Because you are taking me too literally, and I think you
know that.
