The Joy of “Involuntary Contributions”

I’ve been in Washington long enough to build up a bit of immunity to run-of-the-mill rhetorical nonsense.

So when Obama claims that corrupt, pork-barrel projects like Solyndra are “an investment,” I shake my head with disgust but I don’t get overly agitated.

And when the class-warfare crowd says that the so-called rich should “contribute” more to “give back” to society, I roll my eyes with disdain but don’t lose any sleep.

That being said, rhetoric matters and we should mock and counter the statists when they try to distort language for political purposes.

That’s why this Scott Stantis cartoon strip is very much worth sharing.

Contribute Cartoon

Stantis, by the way, produced the best-ever cartoon about the so-called stimulus. In one picture, he achieved everything I tried to explain in my video on Keynesian economics.

And he also has a good cartoon about Obama’s anti-gun agenda and the Constitution.
