Wealth and Unwealth...

How stupid is Eric Kriss?
I mean really...
Can foolishness really be precisely measured?
Eric Kriss, the Commonwealth's Secretary of Administration told the Greater Boston Chamber of Commerce last week that the ratio of "givers to takers" was now about three to one.
A "statistic" that the Admin Secretary finds "unsettling".
This is a ludicrous assertion on so many levels-too many in fact to review in this teensy blogspace.
For one thing, he is calling one quarter of the Commonwealth's population a bunch of debtors and deadbeats....a real Republican Administration NEVER admits that poverty is trending upwards!
Think about it, Kriss is in effect claiming that after three GOP Governors one fourth of the population is living in a chronic state of want.
Never mind the fact that Eric never defines what constitutes a "taker"...you could easily lump schoolchildren and retirees into this "unsettling" parasitic class.
You have to wonder if this is the sort of moronic patois the Romney gang affects behind close doors....grown men complaining about how they are being "oppressed" by "the poor" or some such rubbish.
It's grimly hilarious to recall that Kriss is a grizzled hackneyed veteran of the Weld Cabinet, you'd think he would know better....

Of course Romney has nothing to say as yet about Eric's nonsensical effusion.
No doubt Eric "the snitch" Fehnstrom is frantically poling to determine if a hardline on "takers" has any political traction.
Sick
Demented
Typical
