Liberalism Doesn’t Work
And New Orleans City Council wants a fresh start.
“We don’t need soap opera watchers right now,” said New Orleans City Council President Oliver Thomas, during a housing committee meeting. “We’re going to target the people who are going to work. It’s not that I’m fed up, but that at some point there has to be a whole new level of motivation, and people have got to stop blaming the government for something they ought to do.”
…
In other words, people will have to express a willingness to work to qualify for public housing, officials in New Orleans have said.
Later in Monday’s meeting, Thomas, who is black, reiterated that his remarks were intended for African-Americans.
“There’s just been a lot of pampering, and at some point you have to say, ‘No, no, no, no, no.’ … If our legs don’t hurt, you can walk somewhere,” he said. “I’m saying these things to motivate my people.”
