Van Jones Group Uses Kids Video to Push Universal Health Care, Higher Taxes

Because there‘s nothing more convincing than using kids who don’t understand government and economics, Van Jones’s Rebuild the Dream group is employing tiny tots to push a progressive liberal agenda in a new video.
In order to trumpet the group’s new “Contract for the American Dream” — which we talked about earlier this week — it filmed a bunch of kids explaining the contract’s 10 points. I would excerpt it now with them talking about raising taxes and giving free health care to all, but that would rob the video of its full affect. See for yourself:
Hot Air sums it up with the appropriate level of snark:
If you’re wondering how we can possibly afford “Medicare for all” when we can’t afford Medicare for some, you obviously missed this video from a few weeks ago of Jones reassuring America that we are not in fact broke, no matter how many zeroes there might be up on that national debt scoreboard. All we need to do to build the progressive welfare state of our dreams is get out of Iraq and Afghanistan, nationalize health care so that we can dictate the price of services to medical practitioners from coast to coast, and hike taxes on the rich — and eventually the middle class, of course — way way waaaaay up. How far up? Really far. It’s working for Europe, isn’t it?

Posted on August 10, 2011 at 10:31amI‘ll bet the parents won’t like “free health care to all” so much if their child is ever denied treatment by one of Obamacare’s “death panels”. Then again, that may not be a concern for them if they traded the use of their kids for a lifetime free pass.

Posted on August 10, 2011 at 3:08pmSo, what is so surprising about this? Have you asked your school-aged kids what they are being taught in school about “The New Deal,” Social Security and other socilistic programs that have been instituted over the last 60 years?
What you say, “I don’t have children.” So you are thinking that you don’t have any reason to be involved with you local school board or state board of education that chooses the books that will be the foundation of the “education” of your state’s next generation?
What, do you think the Progressives (socialists / communists) will send you a special notice of what they are teaching in our schools right under your nose?
“When an opponent declares, “I will not come over to your side,” I calmly say, “Your child belongs to us already… What are you? You will pass on. Your descendants, however, now stand in the new camp. In a short time they will know nothing else but this new community.”

Posted on August 10, 2011 at 9:41amHmmm. Wouldn’t it be considered child abuse to force your children into promoting Communism? Marxist Communism, a practice which will inevitably result in the death of billions of people?
This isn’t even the normal kind of Communism they are pushing, where the Rulers just control every aspect of our lives, this is that special kind of Marxist Eutopian Communism, where ideally there would only ever be 500 million people living on the earth, and those people would be the Eugenisists dream – all perfect people. Pristine people, living on a pristinely green earth.
This is one of those great opprotunities to “investigate the parents” and “remove the children from the home.” Certainly, if this administration is willing to entertin the thought of removing children from the home because they are overweight, they would absolutely be in agreement in this case.
Oh wait… this administration is full of Marxist Communists! They probably paid for the video, like they used to pay Van Jones, when he worked as the “Green Jobs Czar” in this administration.
