(Quotable Liberals/Facebook)
I'm ransacking my memory to name the radical Republican (can no longer refer to them as"conservatives") who said he opposes raising the minimum wage because it would "deprive" minimum wage earners of experiencing "the bottom rung of the ladder" they need to climb to improve their lot. I was incensed when I heard it. ( It might have been Rand Paul or Rick Santorem. Just not sure.)
No doubt you have your own examples of Teapublicans twisting stark realities— of poverty, voter suppression, and immigration reform, for starters— into unrecognizable scenarios to fit their fabricated justifications. Facts, truth, reality—nowhere to be found in many of these "moral justification for selfishness."
Let's keep our eyes open for instances of such "moral justification" and call out the people who invoke them in political discourse. We can't let such distortions go unchallenged.
