I'm Lovin' It

I've pointed out the obvious, i.e. Gov Mark Sanford of SC is an idiot, HERE, HERE and HERE. So obviously I was tickled pink at jagoff's idiocy HERE:
SANFORD: A guy from the northeast did a study on generational accounting. Generational accounting says what is the imputed tax for a young person born in America today? And remarkably, that number is 82, which at all ain’t that far from a thing called slavery. If you’re giving away 82% of every dollar you earn every day and every week and every month, A, it’s not a good deal, B, it collapses the capitalistic system because nobody has any initiative to work at that point, and C, it really isn’t that far from slavery. And what the Republic was originally set up was on the notion that was just talked about a moment ago, which is this larger notion of freedom. And economic freedom is a part of the larger notion of freedom.

I really don't know what I find funnier - the fact that everything he says is completely fucking asinine, or that he bases his whole thesis on something he credits as "a guy from the northeast." Awesome. Was this "guy" anyone in particular? A-Rod? Ben from Ben & Jerry? Or...Jerry? Hmm.
