Jesse Jackson Jr. Creating Jobs...With His MindI stumbled across this on Beck's radio show (I think it was his but with a guest host or something). It's really something. The "he" Jackson, Jr. refers to is FDR in a speech to Congress in 1944. Jackson's large theme is that, well in all honesty I'm not entirely sure. As best as I can tell, he think all jobs come from the First Amendment. I asked the Congressional Research Service the other day how many jobs are tied to the First Amendment, that amendment added to the Constitution in 1791 by the founders of our Republic. You know what they told me? Congressman, it is impossible to calculate how many jobs are tied to the First Amendment. This is just profoundly silly. First, does Jackson think there was no commerce before the First Amendment was adopted? More to the point, the First Amendment is not a grant of power to the government is a restriction of power against the government ("Congress shall make no law...."). Yet this genius' solution is to create a whole bunch of "rights" that would empower the government to do all sorts of things and thereby usher in a level of prosperity never before seen in the history of the world. In reality, it's the fact that the government is limited in power and scope (or was at one time) that the genius of free men and women was unleashed to provide goods and services their fellow citizens wanted at a price they agreed upon. In Jackson's World, simply let the government guarantee what your wants are and magically they will appear. Let me diagram it out... Step 1: Pass new amendments to the Constitution Step 2: ??? Step 3: Profit! Let me just save Congressman Jackson some time and offer up a proposal for the 28th Amendment to the US Constitution. Section 1: Each citizen or resident (legal or otherwise) of the United States shall have at all times a net financial worth of no less than One Million US Dollars (to be adjusted annually for inflation). It's fun to mock an idiot like Jackson, Jr. but let's be honest, his "understanding" of what rights are and how the economy works is shared by a lot of people. | Recent Comments
