Quote Unquote: Michele Bachmann on Self Reliance

Michele Bachmann addressing the conservative Christian lobbying organization Family Research Council on the virtue of denying food to the hungry…

"Our nation needs to stop doing for people what they can and should do for themselves. That provides the principle of a national work ethic that we have sadly forgotten. That means an honest day's work for an honest day's pay. Self reliance means, if anyone will not work, neither should he eat."

Very inspiring! Reminds me of the Biblical story in which Jesus miraculously creates all the loaves of bread and then sells them to the hungry masses at market value and pulls in a tidy profit for him and his apostles.
