Ron John the clown says it's not 'society's responsibility' to care for 'other people's children'

while arguing against child care subsidies for working parents

Wisconsin Sen. Ron Johnson argued against government efforts to make child care cheaper for parents during a visit on Tuesday to Kwik Trip's headquarters in La Crosse.

"People decide to have families and become parents. That's something they need to consider when they make that choice," Johnson told local Wisconsin TV station WKBT. "I've never really felt it was society's responsibility to take care of other people's children."

Speaking to WKBT, Johnson said that he did not support moves by the government to help families find child care options. Instead, Johnson told the news station that he would support slashing unemployment benefits to get more people back to work and alleviate the ongoing labor shortage.

He told WKBT that he would back more efforts to help people get jobs that would allow them to support their own families.

That's society educating other people's children. Guess he opposes that as well.

Wisconsin, pull your head out of your collective ass and dump this clown. What more do you need to see?

It's statewide, as you know. It's pure turnout, like a Governor's race.

The majority of WI must have wanted him there at one time, because he's been elected twice.

Slashing unemployment benefits to force people back to work? How about we slash your pay, ronnie, until you actually DO your job of preserving and protecting, instead of taking your orders from vlad.

The people who agree with his demented position (and there are plenty of them) feel emboldened to go even further with the Senator's blessing.
