Limbaugh’s own dependency on the federal government had its roots in the Communications Act of 1934. … These are people who have had their futures taken away from them.” “They are maligned, criticized, ridiculed, impugned, and instead they ought to be held out and up as the role models.” Meanwhile, “There’s no question we have a dependent class in this country, and it’s growing. “The rich, as you know, are under assault,” he explained. (The misleading statistics he used are one of the right’s favorite lies.)įor Limbaugh, all of this was a deeply felt issue of morality. “There will always be poor people,” he said, and “this is not the fault of the rich.” He proclaimed constantly that the super-wealthy are not under-taxed, but woefully over-taxed.
Limbaugh returned obsessively to these themes for decades, turning them into common sense in the minds of his listeners. 27 is “Our cities have not been neglected, but poisoned with welfare dependency funds.” They are the country’s achievers, producers, and job creators.” Down at No. 2 on the list: “The vast majority of the rich in this country did not inherit their wealth they earned it. 1 on a Limbaugh list of “undeniable truths”: “There is a distinct singular American culture - rugged individualism and self-reliance - which made America great.” No. But it would be a little hard to take if he constantly lectured everyone else about the nobility of the rich and the dangers of dependence on the government. The contractor would easily grow stupendously wealthy. Imagine if the government simply gave the rights to extract the gold to corporations, and then the corporations hired a contractor to mine the gold, splitting the proceeds with them. This situation is equivalent to huge gold mines on public land.
