Mayor Bloomberg Is A Buffoon

Mayor Bloomberg, the billionaire wuss that runs New York like it’s his own private satrapy, thinks he is smarter than everyone else and that his role as an elected official is to get involved in the private decisions of rational individuals by forcing them to live their lives the way he thinks they should even though they don’t want to.

Two recent examples are the forced ban of trans fat in NYC restaurants, as well as the forced posting of the calorie count for all menu items on the menu in text as big as the price. His purpose is to force the citizens of New York to switch from burgers and pizza to broccoli and hummus, so that they can live 2-5 years longer and make full use of their adult diapers and kidney dialyses.

Now, Mayor Bloomberg wants to give poor stupid people cash payouts for good behavior through an experimental anti-poverty program called “conditional cash transfers.” According to the Mayor, the program “gives New Yorkers in poverty a financial incentive to look ahead and make decisions that will improve their prospects for the future.” The cash payouts will include:

$25 for maintaining a 95% school attendance record
$300 for doing well on school tests
$400 for graduating high school
$150 for holding a job
$200 for visiting the doctor.
$100 for seeing the dentist

Who is more wussified -- The Mayor for proposing and enacting this socialistic nanny-state redistributive nonsense? Or the poor fools who won’t attend school (even though it’s free), won’t do well on tests (even though they’re laughably easy), won’t graduate high school (even though NYC practices social promotion), won’t hold a job (even as a burger flipper), won’t go to the emergency room when they’re sick (even though it’s free), and won’t visit the dentist (but get grillz).

The purpose of government, back before the wussification of America, was to provide two things – infrastructure and defense. Roads, bridges, police, jails, and the Marine Corps, that was it. Giving some poor dumb person a $25 reward for attending a parent-teacher conference was not what the founding fathers of America intended when they wrote our Constitution.

In fact, this whole concept didn’t even originate in the Western world, but rather Mexico and Brazil, two shining beacons of economic prosperity and human dignity. Mayor Bloomberg actually traveled to Mexico this spring to examine their program of cash payments to stupid people, and to study at the knees of the corrupt, drunken, drug-dealing, socialistic fools who run that banana republic.

The Wussification of America blog believes firmly that it is the right of the individual to act in any way he pleases, unless it does harm to someone else. The idea of taxpayer-funded cash payments to ignoramuses who are too stupid to take advantage of taxpayer-funded free services is a smack in the face to the entire concept of individual freedom, and it has no purpose in New York City or anywhere else in this republic.

And this wussified buffoon Bloomberg wants to be president?
