That’s part of Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius’ response to the SOTU last night.
Jim Hoft’s reaction: “Huh?” and drawing the obvious comparison to another famous redistributionist.
My first thought was: “Ask? Well I’d be much happier if they’d ‘ask’; that implies I can say no. Instead they all seem to pretty much insist while staring down the barrel of a gun.”
As a bonus, I can pretty accurately predict what Milton Friedman would have said:
President Kennedy said, “Ask not what your country can do for you – ask what you can do for your country.”… Neither half of that statement expresses a relation between the citizen and his government that is worthy of the ideals of free men in a free society.
