On...Living in Disney Land

This is so fitting.

I doubt this bill by Rep. Alan Grayson (D-FL) has a chance to become law, but it is so fitting when it comes to 2 things: 1) parochalism and 2) Liberal Fantasy. And there is no better place for this politician to have an A-HA! moment. The most magical place on earth. MAGICAL as in it does not and will not exist.

The idea that all Americans can be kings is so Soft America that I could scream if I wasn't too busy laughing. Wonderful good intentions, that defines the Democrats (and too many W Republicans). Wouldn't paid vacation, manditory by the Federal Government be fantastic? Of course it would. Why do we have to really try at all? But where does it end? Why can't an owner (property rights anyone?) make their own decisions and their workers can work there or not? Has anyone checked out France's labor-policies lately? 30 days paid vacation a year? What are they all? Teachers? (Ah, sweet irony) I know we are not France yet but give it time. Give it time.

And I love the "It will stimulate the economy" bit everyone is using these days. It is so self-serving.

I love this country. Everything that made this nation the greatest in the world is being undermined by the Good Intention Brigade who always ignore the Cult of Unintended Consequences.
