“We see it as an entrepreneurial bill,” Pelosi said, “a bill that says to someone, if you want to be creative and be a musician or whatever, you can leave your work, focus on your talent, your skill, your passion, your aspirations because you will have health care.”

Yeah, that's a good idea. Let's have more people without their own insurance that we have to pay for. Can we please get this loon out of public office. The fact that she is third in line shows just how stupid this country is about electing politicians.

Are you prepared to help finance her opponent when she comes up for re-election? Any moron can rail about politicians. The only way to effect change is to get involved. I suggest you move to her district and work hard for her defeat.

I don't think that you'll find too many folks who will openly agree with her or try to rationalize these latest statements from her.
But it is a testament to the thought process of the people who elect her and politicians like her.

The problem with Pelosi's remarks, however, is that from hindsight, they are not bright, new, or liberating. On the contrary, almost identical words were penned over a hundred years ago by another champion of economic "freedom": Karl Marx. Marx criticized the private economy because it led to the "renunciation of life and of human needs."


Like Pelosi, Marx was deeply troubled by an economic system that left most people job-locked and unable to satisfy their "human need" to become more authentic. In other words, the more you have to work, said Marx, "the less you eat, drink, buy books, go to the theater or to balls, or to the public house, and the less you think, love, theorize, sing, paint, fence, etc."

But, i can't disagree completely with his comments in this regard.

P.S. Doesn't really make sense to compare her to Karl Marx, because despite how much you might disagree with Marx, there is no denying that he was about 100 million x smarter than Pelosi could ever dream to be.

I for one am not going to crucify you, for what he was at least Marx was as close to a true believer as anyone in his ideals. What makes his ideals so dangerous is that his 'followers' aren't true believers, in that they are exempt from all of these societal rules as they are superior and know what's best for all of the little people.

People like Pelosi and Al Gore aren't marxists, they are part of the ruling elite that invoke his ideas when it is politically convenient for them, but have no problem flying first class, eating caviar or buying mansions outside Santa Barbara.

BTW I don't think it is just $$$ that spurns this hypocrisy, you see it in high levels of academia as well. Rules are for the little or ignorant people.
