Brad Stine Tells Fox and Friends: Political Correctness Made Americans Too Lazy To Work Tough Jobs

video
» 126 comments

Zany conservative comic Brad Stine appeared on Monday’s Fox and Friends to rag on “lazy Americans” who should feel “ashamed” they’re unemployed. Anchor Gretchen Carlson asked Stine if Americans were willing to do tough jobs. “Are Americans too lazy to do that? The answer is yes!” Stine exclaimed. “…We used to make it shameful not to work. We called people that didn’t work hobos! What happened to the hobos? We need to bring these people back and make them feel ashamed but political correctness came in and said we don’t want them to feel bad about not working. Yes, we do! Get to work! The ideology that told people that we don’t have to work hard, we’ll subsidize people and make high class hobos by taking money who work and give it to people that don’t work. Effectively, they bought them off.”

“What’s happening right now in Alabama and Washington and other areas where they’ve cracked down on illegal immigration is farmers there and other businesses basically say, wait, we can’t hire anyone,” observed co-host Clayton Morris. “We can’t get Americans to do these jobs.”

“We’ve been trained not to do those jobs,” Stine explained. “We used to do it and during the Depression, people took any job they could get. It’s what’s at stake, you know, people say Americans won’t go out in the field and pick cabbage for 10 hours. You know why? Because we hate cabbage! That’s really the key — what’s the biggest problem that can happen? Oh, there’s going to be a shortage in cole slaw. Nobody cares!” Stine vociferated. “You tell an American man that if you don’t get on a boat for two months with the possibility of being swept aside and dying, if you don’t do that, we’re not going to have lobster anymore, you have everybody signing up!”

    Please. We have the most parsimonious social safety net in the entire developed world. Our problem is that we have an economic system which is and during the entire American experience has largely always been only nominally capitalistic whilst have a wholly capitalistic social safety net. Our economic system has worked because we have never completely trusted capitalism, and our social safety net has frayed because we’ve done nothing to build that trust.

    Kind of reminds me of this story I just read:

    At this moment, a whole lot of people, most of them 15 to 20 years younger than me, are protesting in every major city. What are they angry about? A lot of things, some of which are partially my fault.

    See, I’m a part of Generation X, the post-Baby Boom era kids who grew up on a mental diet of Beavis and Butthead and Alice in Chains. We wrote poems about how angry we were at our fathers, wore goatees like weapons and made panties burst into flames by playing Pearl Jam’s Black on our acoustic guitars. We were a bridge from the Baby Boomers to all you guys who are in high school and college now. And I’m pretty sure we fucked up that handoff pretty badly.

    This is not a sarcastic apology, I’m not a big enough dick to write all of this as a backhanded insult about how lazy and entitled you are. Because you’re not.

    I’m honestly apologizing for …

    First, it is our elected officials whom have decided that EVERYONE has to go to college.  Lazy?  Sorry talking head people like you spent the last 30 years brainwashing people into thinking that true work was something beneath us.  It was you and your kind that took away the shop classes, the vocational training in High School.  We live in a nation that has been forged by socialist democrats with zero thought beyond what will get them elected.

  • Anonymous

    When people like yourself make such silly statements I get curious.  Do you really believe that democrats push for things like welfare and unemployment benefits to foster laziness?  That this is their hidden intention? 

    Do you realize that there’s an argument to be made that such things stabilize society and, in fact, stimulate the economy?  I don’t care whether you buy the argument.  I’m just wondering whether you’re aware that such an argument exists and that there’s research to support it. 

    And if you can keep it to a single exclamation point or less per sentence I’d appreciate it.

    Fox and Friends – when they aren’t playing Fox and Friends with benefits to Wall Street, blowing the Republicans and sucking off Murdoch, they’re kicking those who are unemployed as lazy and immoral.  Looking for Fox and Friends to take up Sandusky’s cause and blaming the ten year old for being too anally seductive.

  • Tito Esposito

    Democrats push for welfare and unemployment benefits to get votes, nothing more and nothing less. It’s true that conservatives are in this for themselves – but so are liberals. The real problem is that the ultimate progression of liberal ideals is a dictatorship, while the ultimate progression of conservative ideals is Virgin Galactic or General Dynamics. The day I see Google or Wal-Mart murder a few million people by starving them to death is the day liberals might be able to convince me that their continuous march towards socialism is somehow on par with the existence afforded us through free markets and capitalism.

    I have no problem with our country having a safety net for the elderly, the infirm, and (temporarily) for those who are down on their luck. However, I’m not willing to accept the liberal ideal that every thing has to be made, or managed, at 25-100x the cost it would take the private sector to do it. My answer is that if you can’t figure out how to do it at the same cost as the private sector can, then you don’t need to be in charge of it. End of story.

    Take a look at Solyndra – it doesn’t matter that it’s Obama behind this, it would be the same if a Republican were in office, but that doesn’t change the point. When you allow you government to run wild with your money, and no accountability, then you lose everything. How far do you think that $500M would have gone if you gave $1M to 500 existing small businesses in this country? I’ll bet that over time 25% of those business would continue to grow, and retain the people they hired with that first $1M. Yep, a lot of them would blow the $1M and go out of business – but Solyndra took the whole $500M and our economy won’t see one thin dime from the deal.

    That is where most of you liberals are extremely misguided. 

    Wall Street gave out risky loans BECAUSE of government policies that were enacted. Ever heard of HUD? Fannie Mae and Freddy Mac? What about Barney Frank telling Americans that their bank loans were secure (just 3 months before the economy collapse) and that they shouldn’t worry?

  • Anonymous

    Leaving aside its deep cynicism for the moment, let’s grant, for the sake of argument, that you’re right: Democrats just want the votes.  Do you really think this would be the most effective way to get it?  Appealing to poor people?  It seems to me that if you were just about the power you’d appeal to the super rich.  After all, they can fund your campaign.  And it takes a whole heck of a lot of money to run a campaign. 

    I think you and I could find common ground on the point regarding small businesses.  Thriving small businesses creates a thriving economy.  However, the real threat to small businesses is not the government.  It’s big business.  Big business and it’s influence on the government.  (Watch a documentary like Inside Job or The Corporation sometime.)

    Like most of those I know, I’m not a liberal/progressive because I believe in socialism and oppose the free market. I support the free market and oppose Wall Street’s subversion of it.  I’m not alone in this.  Of course, you’d never know that from watching Fox News.  They’re determined to paint everyone on the left as a commie.  Now why is that?  Maybe because Fox News is corporate media.

    First off, FNM and FRE did not guarantee the risky loans that comprised the CDO’s that they were created from – if they were, why would they have gone bad. Secondly, if it was FNM and FRE/HUD that DID create the demand for risky loans and juice the housing bubble – why did it happen in other countries that DO NOT have these same GSE’s?

    Elected officials decided everyone should go to college?  Talking heads spent 30 years brainwashing people into thinking true work was beneath us?   Shop and vocational training was taken away when the tax payers listened to our Republican leaders decided we should cut school funding.  The Republicans want to see everyone go to charter schools with the families mostly paying for their children’s educational costs.   Do you think low income families can afford to send their children to charter schools, which being private probably won’t have shops and vocational training either because of the expense.  Maybe instead of trying to blame Democrats, you should really look at the whole situation and not just listen to what the Republicans want you to believe.  The Republicans want to destroy education as we know it and further divid the classes.

    I don’t begrude Wall Street their profits for once second, provided that they make them fair and square. If they’re going to take big risks, for big rewards, more power to them – but when the government steps in and bails them out, that’s where I have a problem. As with any investment, I expect a return – if the government is going to take $1 of mine and give it to Goldman Sachs, then I should see $1.10 coming back to me in one way or another – I don’t see that happening with any of these bailouts, from Wall Street down to Main Street (Ahem, General Motors anyone?). Once again, the government doesn’t operate like the private sector does – every action it takes comes at tremendous cost to those of us who are out here footing the bills.

    The government needs to become 10x more efficient than it is, and it needs to then stay that way. I would have to guess that most of the people who operate small business in this country – including the small business that is the average family of four simply trying to pay their bills each month, can understand that the government, as it operates today, is intensely wasteful.

    Solyndra is only one of the solar companies that the government guranteed loans to, 500 million, there are many more. Sun Power, 1.1.billion is also in trouble. These loans were turned down by the Bush Administration as being too risky.Obama’s own advisors were also against these loans but, Obama insisted these loans go through to pay back his supporters. The Canidian/ American oil pipeline was put on hold untill after the next election keeping 20,000 workers out of good paying jobs. Obama is trying to shut down the new Boeing plant keeping another 2,000 workers out of work because it’s nonunion, again payback. This is the most corrupt administration our country ever had.

    Employers must make a profit or they will go out of business. NAFTA & Free World Trade is what lowered the cost of everything. Manufacturers moved off shore to save on labor and make cheaper products that we import. The companies that stayed in the U.S. must compete with these products and the profit margin is smaller so they cannot pay higher wages. Everything was fine untill NAFTA & Free World Trade was passed by our Congress & Clinton, Wages were higher and prices were decent. Ross Perot was correct when he said if NAFTA was passed you would hear a sucking sound of jobs leaving the U.S. The first thing our government has to do to restore the economy is get rid of Free World Trade & NAFTA, it’s killing us. Tax the imports and the companies will move back to the U.S. Also drill our own gas & oil, stop the flow of money going to Canada, Mexico & the Middle East.  We have it here, use it here.

    The higher costs of energy would make overseas production too expensive. Economies and industries would return to local scale, thus preserving local economies.

    Charter schools are to get out from under the Union thuggery that has taken the greatest education system on the planet and gutted it for their own self interest.  In 1973 California community colleges were FREE, you could get a 4 year degree from any CSU for under $1000 and from any UC for under $2000.  Since the unions got their technocratic hands on it we have had year over year cost increases totalling over 2000% and get less for every dollar.  Furthermore it is nearly impossible to get a legitimate 4 year degree in 4 years further lining the pockets of moronic democrats that care for nothing but their own pocket book. In order to AFFORD the union extortion racket actual worthwhile programs from the arts and philosophy to shop class are GONE.  Thank you democrats, take away the PE classes and then complain the kids are fat.  Demand your ghetto rats get ipads so they can pawn em for crack all the while laughing your way to the bank and you want to say that the republicans are trying to destroy education?  Obviously you are a perfect product of a “quality” public education.

    why should he turn down ss. medicare or more? He has worked for them. My son-in-law has worked all his life. He developed fibromyalgia and meners disease. He can’t work anymore. His wife has to be there to take care of him. They have children and no ,NO income.Hi family,and our family along with friends have had to pay their bills for over a year. My point, he cannot get his ss diabilty and has been turned down twice, yet there are those such as illegal aliens and “others” who have food stmps, medicare,free housing, student loans that aren’t paid back,etc. What are Americans suppose to live off of, air? No, we aren’t lazy, just getting the short end of the stick.

    So you’re saying the government forced the banks to be nice to poor people ? Then the banks said we don’t want to, but we’re powerless to fight the laws we’ve been changing for 25 years. So we will make make bad loans against our will, bundle them and sell them at record breaking profits. While we’re at it, let’s bet against them as well, BTW we don’t need any money to leverage this crap in case things go wrong, the government will bail us out!

    You’re getting unreliable information if you think we’re not getting our money back from the banks and GM. What about the millions of jobs saved ? entire industires saved ? All that suffering means nothing to you if you can’t mak a profit ? There are a lot of sources, look around. Otherwise you just look like and uninformed idiot.

    They work very hard transfering public money into private hands by privatisation, selling off public buildings and land, wars on credit, tax breaks for the wealthy etc

    We are so close to saying the same thing, just less the “Tea party” spin. I agree your family has earned the right for those programs. I also agree the “teas” are first to complain, the first to cash their stimulus checks and accept medicare breaks. “Fox” has told the “tea party” that illegal aliens get these programs all the time, not true. Do they get these programs, yes, by fraud sometimes and that needs to stop! How do you get food stamps, medicare, free housing, student loans without a SS number? You don’t! They get the chance to work for slave wages, pay sales tax and live in homes owned by not too bright greedy landlords that could figure out what’s going on! If  persons such as your family find it hard to gain rightful help, how hard would it be for an illegal, no english, no SS #, no employment record to get those benefits? I hope you get the assistance, it is your right for such!

    Imposing enviromnental regulations on other countries such as China, India and other developing nations would be almost impossible, great idea if it could be done. The higher cost of energy will hurt everyone and increase prices to manufactures and consumers. Our water and air is cleaner now than it was during most of the the industrial age of 20th century, there is no need to increase enviromental regulations that hurt business and consumers. Maybe you haven’t lived long enough to notice the difference but, I remember when raw sewage and chemicals were dumped into our waterways and steel mills belched smoke into the air, bio hazard medical waste washed up on our beaches, this is no longer the case. Our present regulations are more than sufficent and should not be increased. If anything we need a clean source of energy such as natural gas and nuclear energy which our government refuses to permit. Solar and wind  is unreliable and is not a constant source of power. Natural gas can power any internal combustion engine and burns very clean and is readily available through existing pipe lines in many parts of the country.

    Bush ignored the economy for most of his term, in 2006 he finally warned congress that the economy was about fail and they did nothing. Bush’s mind was consumed by the Iraq and Afghanistan wars which were unnecessary and were a further draw on the economy. Both Bush’s and Clinton did nothing to discourage the banks from making risky loans that were incouraged by Carter. The problem was accelerated until the housing bubble burst. Many of the speculators that invested in homes to  make a quick profit by flipping them got caught in the housing bubble and lost their shirts. Obama had almost 3 years to turn the economy around and has made it worse, all his decisions have hurt the economy. His main consideration is to get reelected and pay back the unions for their support. The economy just didn’t fail overnight, it took several decades starting with Carter and then Clinton and his NAFTA and Free World Trade policies and Bush’s unnecessary wars. Obama has spent more of your tax dollars in less than 3 years than Bush did in 8 years.

    What and idiot. The rest of the world doesn’t play football at all and very few other countries play baseball. Gotta laugh when some american baseball team calls themselves world champions when they’re the only country that plays the game……cos it’s as exciting as watching paint dry. And the rest of the world does actually play soccer (probably because it wasn’t invented in America).
