The No-State Candidate -- Michele Bachmann

From Crooks and Liars -> At Thursday night's Republican presidential debate, Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) proposed the elimination of all taxes, but then added that the government did need some money to run.

"You earned every dollar, you should get to keep every dollar that you earned," the candidate said. "That's your money, that's not the government's money."

"Barack Obama seems to think that when earn money, it belongs to him and we're lucky just to keep a little bit of it. I don't think that at all. I think that when people make money, it's their money."

Bachmann added: "Obviously we need to give money back to the government so that we can run the government."

Way to totally rim them tea baggers by telling them they're geniuses. Obama is the Grinch and Scrooge combined, and has single handedly wrecked everything. The solution is to let corporations run everything.

So painful to watch this crap. No one is addressing anything. Serve up a bunch of platitudes that sound great and answer nothing. "You should keep all your money you earn... but we need to give some money back to the gov't." It doesn't answer the question, yet contradicts itself.

Internal monolog: "Dum de dum de dum ... blah blah blah ... Oh god, did I just say people should pay zero taxes? ... That means no salary for Rep./President Michele Bachmann! ... If they get to keep all of theirs, I'll get none of mine! ... Hey am I still talking? ... better add something here at the end about how the government still needs money ... There we go ... I'm a genius ... It certainly isn't government that's the genius ... wait, did I just say that out loud?"

When someone asks you "how many cents out of every dollar should I keep?" the answer is to be given in cents. Answering "every dollar" makes it seem like you either don't really understand the question, or you don't really care if your answer makes sense.

I've pretty much given up on humanity...
