Former GOP Rep. Joe Walsh: The American people are ‘stupid’ and ‘lazy’

[Swede Atlanta]

18. Well Joe, you are an asshole....

I am an American and FLAMING liberal. Let's see how I have "milked the system".

(1) With the help of my parents and my own summer jobs, etc. I paid for my undergraduate and graduate degrees without grants or student loans

(2) I have been gainfully employed since 1978 without ever being unemployed or on public assistance

(3) I work on average 50+ hours a week and sneak in work even on vacations

(4) I would match my intelligence against his any day. I am not a brainiac but am far from being stupid

(5) I only take the standard deduction and therefore contribute a significantly higher percentage of my income to federal and state governments that most "moochers" such as those that have government subsidize their home purchases.

Note: I support the home interest tax deduction up to a certain point but needed to be clear that I am not even taking advantage of that dedication.

So, Joe, let's meet somewhere. I will figuratively duke it out with you any day, any where, with both hands tied behind me. I will still come out the victor because you are are sniveling petulant child.
