Obama answering Velma Hart at yesterday’s town hall, said you’re the kind of people “we want to reward.”
We? Who’s we? He being top dog in U.S. government, he must meant the government. What’s the government got to do with it?
We, meaning the whole rest of the country, find ourselves rewarded mostly by our own efforts, not a beneficent government, even in social security payments, which I know something about, which depend on past earnings and keeping up with FICA payments.
He says things like that because of his swollen notion of where gummint (my usual term in this context) fits into our (most people’s) lives, with special attention to his role as top dog.
