Unbelievable. These liberals must be the product of their own failed education system in the public schools...those of them who didn't start out with a silver spoon in their mouth, admittedly few.
This is right up there with Obama's quote during the campaign about "Our individual prosperity depends upon our collective prosperity."
Both quotes are "bass-ackwards", using the clean version to avoid swearing.
Obviously, a bill that is not understandable EVEN BY LEGISLATORS should not be passed. This is an amplification of the fact that a bill that is not understandable in the colloquial language of the people should not be passed.
And to Obama: "Collective prosperity" refers to a collection of what? Individuals. So obviously individuals have to prosper before any "collective" can. That is aside from the fact that all of our rights are based on the individual, and that a conceptual problem with groups of individuals is that they can be defined many ways. "Everybody" or "Legal Citizens vs. Illegals" or "Caucasians vs. Non-Caucasians" or "Residents of New Jersey", whatever. Advertising professionals, statisticians, actuaries and insurance companies do this all the time. But we should not make policy based on arbitrarily defined groups at the expense of individuals.
The Democrats' lack of intellectual fortitude does not mix well with their condescension and contempt for those actually paying the bills.
