What a sweet story in the newspaper today about a grandmother and a bake sale to balance the state budget.
Shame it’s fake.
The “bake sale” on a Virginia Beach streetcorner was organized in Charlottesville by a group called “Virginia Organizing Project.” Quaint enough, right?
Virginia Organizing Project lists as its beliefs:
“every person in the Commonwealth is entitled to a living wage and benefit package”
“the elimination of the extremes of wealth and poverty”
“democratic self-organization” (Unions!)
“the elimination of the death penalty in all cases
“adequate care is available to low and moderate-income residents.”
So, eating that cupcake meant swallowing Socialized health care, Unionization, eliminating the death penalty, income redistribution, living wages and mandatory benefits.
Sweets for Socialism?
“Tim McCarthy, a social worker from Virginia Beach, said he’d rather pay higher taxes” (Pilot)
Be my guest, Tim. Instead of buying cookies from Charlottesville, write a check to Richmond.
“I can’t wait to hear what the governor will learn from this,” Stanley said of her group’s efforts.
Neither can I. Maybe it’ll be something like “hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.”
