Romney Economic Advisor Says the Poor Have It Just Fine
Because They Have Microwave Ovens.

“The premise of this Wall Street Journal column by Romney economic adviser Kevin Hassett (dubbed by some naughty wags as the "world's worst economist," and for a host of pretty damn good reasons) and his partner in crime is that the common refrain of the rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer these last decades is "wrong," because just look at all the nice microwaves and cell phones the poor have these days. Yes, we have heard that case being made before—one cannot truly be poor if one has ever owned a microwave oven, because once you can afford a microwave oven you will always, from that point forward, have enough money to eat and house yourself and never lose your job or get sick or need medicine or have some gargantuan money whore eat your pension just because they can, so screw you.”
Glad that the GOP candidate has such great advisors. It seems that Romney is not the only one who can’t keep his mouth shut about his real views. Just because someone owned a microwave in the past does not mean they have one now. It is called losing things people!
As always, this is more proof that the GOP has the collective intelligence of an insect.
