Yesterday morning during a speech at the Family Research Council in Washington, Michele Bachmann bashed the unemployed in perhaps the most heartless way possible. After vowing to weaken social safety net programs such as Social Security, Medicare, food stamps, and unemployment benefits, Bachmann said that if you are currently not working, you should not be eating.

“Our nation needs to stop doing for people what they can and should do for themselves. Self reliance means, if anyone will not work, neither should he eat.”

Not only are Bachmann’s “Christian values” on full display with these remarks, she’s also giving us one of her many “thoughtful” solutions to the problems our nation is facing currently.  Never mind that there are almost five people for every job opening right now. The four who don’t get the job need to stop eating.

Also, too: more taxes on the poor.
