Hard Truth Number 1: If you are a liberal who really believes that your liberal heroes actually believe in liberalism, you are a sucker and a fool.
Hard Truth Number 2 concerns the minimum wage and the delusion that labor should be valued not between those who provide it and those who pay for it, but by you based upon your own subjective notion of “fairness.” The hard truth is that you are worth precisely what an employer will pay for you, and nothing more.
Hard Truth Number 3: If you need government to set you a “living wage,” it’s because you have failed to make yourself worth a living wage. A higher minimum wage is merely a subsidy to ensure you don’t have to put in the effort necessary to earn what you want.
Hard Truth Number 4: You shouldn’t have kids if you can’t afford them. A corollary to this self-evident concept is that you shouldn’t have sex unless you can pay for your own birth control.
Hard Truth Number 5: Liberalism depends on a huge number of Americans being losers who can’t support themselves. Broken or nonexistent families are the root of most of society’s pathologies, and they are also essential to the Democrat demographic model. The party’s very existence depends on there being a pool of serfs desperate for handouts distributed by Democrat overlords.
Hard Truth Number 6: Your biggest problem is you. Now, a lot of people resent this truth – they say it’s “blaming the victim.” But most of the time, the purported “victim” is to blame. Did you drop out of school? Choose to use drugs? Have a couple kids with a couple losers?
Hard Truth Number 7: This can’t go on.
Kurt how can I nominate you for President? Every Liberal needs to read this list and then ask themselves some hard questions. I am not rich but I can afford what I need or most of what I want without the government’s involvement and everyone else should also. I am so tired of hearing how no one is to blame for all the stupid things people do, now I know I have done a few but I have also paid my way to correct them to include child support and a plethora of bad choices when I was younger. No one else was to blame for my mistakes and no one else should have to own up to them and certainly not pay for them financially but our current government believes that no one should have to pay for making these choices, when what they mean is everyone should pay. It is about time that someone said what most of us are thinking, Thank you Kurt for being brave enough to state that we should be a country of responsible men and women who follow our values and for those who stray or outright do not have values, will pay themselves, for the chaos they cause.
Kurt Schlichter has earned a spot in the running for hero of the week on this site and every person who agrees should tweet him and agree so more people like him step up and tell the government what is right and what should be done. Remember Kurt for President 2016.
