Stossel: Conceited politicians.

Here’s John Stossel. All American taxpayers should share his sentiments:

I’ve written before about the conceit of politicians who dole out taxpayers’ money and then expect that people worship them for the help they give. Occasionally, a politician says it outright, like in this short video of Pennsylvania Governor Ed Rendell that came out today:

“State workers – I’ve arranged for them to get a $15,000 loan with no interest…… they should put a statue of me up on their mantleplace,” Rendell says.

Why should they get statues for spending YOUR money?

A similarly revealing incident happened last month, when Maxine Waters shouted at and shoved fellow Democrat and House Appropriations Committee Chairman David Obey. His offense? Refusing to approve funding for the “Maxine Waters Employment Preparation Center.”

Give me a break. Lets limit the power of politicians, and start thanking the people who actually create the wealth that the politicians freely give away.
