JASON CHAFFETZ HAS BEEN KNOWN FOR HIS AGGRESSIVE NATURE
IN REFORMING ENTITLEMENTS.
HE THINKS THAT PEOPLE NEED TO PICK THEMSELVES UP BY THE
BOOTSTRAPS, WHICH IS A CURIOUS POSITION TO TAKE, CONSIDERING
THE FACT THAT HE JUST DID AN INTERVIEW WITH THE HILL WHERE
HE ARGUED, YOU KNOW, HOUSING IS REALLY EXPENSIVE, ESPECIALLY
IN DC, AND MEMBERS OF CONGRESS SHOULD GET A SECOND EVERY MONTH,
JUST SO THAT THEY CAN BE ABLE TO AFFORD HOUSING IN THE DISTRICT.
OH MY GOD.
THIS STORY, THIS IS BANANAS.
MONEY GIVE YOU HIS QUOTES, AND THEN I'M GOING TO GIVE YOU
A LITTLE CONTEXT.
HE TELLS THE HILL, "I REALLY DO BELIEVE CONGRESS WOULD BE
MUCH BETTER SERVED IF THERE WAS A HOUSING ALLOWANCE FOR
MEMBERS OF CONGRESS.
IN TODAY'S CLIMATE, NOBODY IS GOING TO VOTE ñ
NOBODY IS GOING TO SUGGEST ORVAL FOR A PAY RAISE.
BUT YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE TO BE AMONG THE WEALTHIEST OF
AMERICANS TO SERVE PROPERLY IN CONGRESS."
I'M GOING TO STOP RIGHT THERE.
I DON'T KNOW IF THESE ARE HIS INTENTIONS, BUT I'D STIPEND
IS TAXED DIFFERENTLY THAN A PAY RAISE.
A STIPEND USUALLY MEANS THAT YOU HAVE TO PAY SOCIAL SECURITY TAX.
IT'S EVEN BETTER THAN A PAY RAISE.
I MEAN, THE BALLS ON THIS GUY.
HE WANTS A $2500 A MONTH STIPEND FOR LAWMAKERS, BECAUSE THE
INSANE SALARY THAT THEY ARE MAKING IS ENOUGH.
AND BY THE WAY, WHEN I SAY INSANE, IT'S INSANE TO ME, AND
MOST AMERICANS, BECAUSE MOST PEOPLE DON'T MAKE $174,000 A
YEAR, AND THAT'S NOT INCLUDING DONATIONS, AND THINGS LIKE
THAT, BUT I'M SURE HE BENEFITS FROM AS WELL.
BUT ANYWAY, LET ME GIVE YOU MORE DETAILS;
HE SAYS, "WASHINGTON DC IS ONE OF THE MOST EXPENSIVE PLACES IN
THE WORLD, AND I FLAT-OUT CANNOT AFFORD A MORTGAGE IN UTAH,
KIDS IN COLLEGE AND A SECOND PLACE HERE IN WASHINGTON DC.
8TH ñ I THINK A $2500
HOUSING ALLOWANCE WOULD BE APPROPRIATE AND A REAL HELP TO
HAVE AT LEAST A DECENT QUALITY OF LIFE IN WASHINGTON IF YOU'RE
GOING TO EXPECT PEOPLE TO SPEND HUNDREDS OF NIGHTS A YEAR HERE."
WAIT A MINUTE, YOU ARE WORRIED ABOUT A DECENT QUALITY OF LIFE,
WHEN YOU DENY AMERICANS ñ WHO YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO BE
REPRESENTING - A DECENT QUALITY OF LIFE?
PICK YOURSELF UP BY THE BOOTSTRAPS, DUDE.
IF JASON CHAFFETZ WAS A CHAMPION OF THE POOR, OR EVEN THE MIDDLE
CLASS!
IF HE SAID, WE NEED TO, YOU KNOW, MAKE SURE THAT IF YOU
DON'T HAVE MONEY YOU GET A STIPEND FOR FOOD, SO YOUR
KIDS DON'T STARVE.
AND THEN HE ASKS FOR A STIPEND ON HIS OWN, I WOULD SAY,
WELL LOOK, JASON, YOU ARE MAKING $174,000
A YEAR, THAT'S A HELL OF A LOT BETTER THAN THESE PEOPLE ON
FOOD STAMPS, BUT I WILL HEAR YOU OUT.
BUT NO, HE FIGHTS AGAINST ALL OF THOSE PROGRAMS, SO IF YOU ARE
MIDDLE-CLASS, DOES JASON WANT YOU TO GET A STIPEND?
HELL NO.
YOU ARE POOR, WORKING TWO JOBS, DOES HE WANT YOU TO GET AN
INCREASE IN MINIMUM WAGE?
HELL NO, THAT'S MONEY YOU NEED TO EARN.
FOOD STAMPS?
ANYTHING?
STIPEND?
NO, BOOTSTRAPS.
BUT NOW, I'VE GOT MY CROCODILE TEARS.
HOW AM I SUPPOSED PUT MY KIDS THROUGH PRIVATE SCHOOL?
I WOULDN'T WANT THEM TO GO TO SCHOOL WITH YOUR KIDS.
IT GETS BETTER THOUGH, JASON CHAFFETZ LOVES TO GO ON PUBLIC
TELEVISION TO TALK ABOUT INDIVIDUALS IN AMERICA WHO ARE
NEEDY, WHO DO NEED PUBLIC ASSISTANCE, AND HE DID MAKE NEWS
EARLIER THIS YEAR WHEN HE SAID THIS, TAKE A LOOK:
AND YOU KNOW WHAT?
AMERICANS HAVE CHOICES, AND THEY HAVE GOT TO MAKE A CHOICE,
SO MAYBE INSTEAD OF GETTING A NEW IPHONE THAT THEY LOVE,
MAYBE THEY SHOULD INVEST IN THEIR OWN HEALTHCARE.
THEY HAVE GOT TO MAKE THOSE DECISIONS THEMSELVES.
YEAH BRO, STOP BUYING YOUR IPHONE AND YOU'LL BE OLD TO
AFFORD A HOME OR SOMETHING IN DC.
JUST DON'T BUY THE IPHONE.
BECAUSE AVOIDING PURCHASING TECHNOLOGY LIKE AN IPHONE IS
GOING TO SOMEHOW MAGICALLY GIVE YOU ENOUGH MONEY TO PROVIDE FOR
YOUR FAMILY, TO AFFORD HEALTHCARE, TO AFFORD AN
EXPENSIVE HOME IN WASHINGTON DC.
I MEAN, THIS GUY IS A CLOWN, AND THE INABILITY TO EVER
EMPATHIZE WITH ANYONE ELSE, WHILE ARGUING THAT MEMBERS
OF CONGRESS SHOULD GET THIS INSANE AMOUNT OF MONEY
ñ $30,000 A YEAR JUST FOR HOUSING ñ IS JUST RIDICULOUS.
AND THAT IS, AGAIN, AS YOU POINT OUT, POST TAXES.
IF YOU HAVE TO PAY TAXES ON THAT, YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT A
$45,000, $50,000 YEAR JOB, WHICH IS MORE THAN THE AVERAGE
AMERICAN GETS FOR THEIR ENTIRE YEAR AT A JOB.
YOU KNOW, IF YOU ARE ON MINIMUM WAGE YOU MAKE AROUND $20,000?
SO HE IS ASKING FOR MORE THAN TWICE THE MINIMUM WAGE, JUST
FOR HIS HOUSING, BECAUSE HOW ELSE COULD HE AFFORD TO HOMES?
ONE IN UTAH, ONE IN WASHINGTON, WHILE HIS KIDS ARE IN
PRIVATE SCHOOL.
BUT YOU, YOU WANT TO GET HEALTHCARE SO YOU CAN LIVE?
DON'T BUY YOUR IPHONE.
I KNOW, IT'S CRAZY.
AND BY THE WAY, SINCE WE ARE ON THE TOPIC OF MINIMUM WAGE, WHAT
DOES CHAFFETZ THINK ABOUT INCREASING MINIMUM WAGE?
HERE'S AN INTERVIEW HE DID BACK IN 2014.
IT ALSO SAYS AN AVERAGE OF 90,000 AMERICANS WOULD BE
LIFTED OUT OF POVERTY, AND WOULD HAVE MORE PURCHASING POWER
BIRTH AND ADDITIONAL $5 BILLION IN THEIR POCKETS.
QU…BEC UNIVERSITY FOUND THAT 71% OF AMERICANS, INCLUDING A
52% OF REPUBLICAN SUPPORT A HIGHER MINIMUM WAGE.
WHERE DO YOU STAND ON THAT?
ABSOLUTELY NOT, I WOULD TOTALLY DISAGREE WITH THAT.
THE IDEA THAT WE LOSE $500,000 IS DEVASTATING TO PEOPLE,
AND ONE PART OF THE CONVERSATION I REALLY THINK NEEDS TO BE
INJECTED IN THIS IS, WHAT WOULD IT DO TO OUR YOUTH?
I REMEMBER AS A YOUNG MAN, I DIDN'T MAKE MINIMUM WAGE,
BUT I HAD TO GET A JOB, AND I LEARNED THE VALUE OF HARD WORK.
AND WHEN YOU RAISE THE MINIMUM WAGE, YOU WANT TO SQUEEZE
OUT THE VALUE ñ ESPECIALLY IN INNER CITIES, YOUNG FOLKS
NEED JOBS AND THEY HAVE GOT TO LEARN HOW TO WORK.
A COUPLE POINTS ABOUT THIS, WE JUST DID A STORY ABOUT HOW
SEATTLE RAISE THEIR MINIMUM WAGE, NOT LIKING THAT STORY
WHERE THEY WERE TALKING ABOUT $10, BUT TO $15, AND THEY DIDN'T
LOSE ANY JOBS.
THE FACTS SHOW, IN FACT, THAT THE ECONOMY DID BETTER.
AND HE SAYS, KIDS IN THE INNER-CITY, BECAUSE OF
COURSE THE POOR ARE ALWAYS IN THE INNER-CITY.
HE DIDN'T HAVE TO SAY INNER-CITY, WHERE DID THAT
COME FROM?
SO WHEN IT COMES TO YOU, NO NO NO, ABSOLUTELY NOT.
AND THAT IS NOT A STIPEND, THAT IS NOT A HANDOUT, YOU ARE
WORKING HARD, BUT JASON CHAFFETZ SAYS NO, YOU SHOULD NOT GET MORE
THAN $7.25 AN HOUR, BUT HIM, HE NEEDS A $30,000 STIPEND FOR HIS
SECOND HOME.
FOR HIS SECOND HOME IN DC, JUST SO HE CAN DO HIS JOB PROPERLY,
BECAUSE IN THE PAST, MEMBERS OF CONGRESS HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO DO
THEIR JOB PROPERLY, SIMPLY BECAUSE THEY WEREN'T GIVEN THIS
CHUNK OF CASH TO BE ABLE TO AFFORD A HOME IN DC.
BY THE WAY, YESTERDAY WE DID A STORY ABOUT HOW AS MANY AS
14% OF COLLEGE STUDENTS ARE HOMELESS, OR PRECARIOUSLY
HOUSED, MEANING THEY ARE LIVING OUT OF THEIR CARS.
IS HE CONCERNED ABOUT THAT?
HE'S NOT CONCERNED ABOUT THAT, BUT HE'S CONCERNED ABOUT
BEING ABLE TO AFFORD THAT SECOND HOME IN DC.
BUT SUCKLE MINIMUM WAGE REALLY QUICK, JUST TO GIVE YOU THE
NUMBERS.
THE CURRENT MINIMUM WAGE IN DC IS $11.50.
SO, THAT ENDS UP BEING A $23,900 SALARY PER YEAR.
THAT IS STILL NOT BE $30,000
HE IS ASKING FOR IN THE FORM OF A STIPEND.
KEEP IN MIND, THE MINIMUM WAGE IS EXPECTED TO INCREASE
BEGINNING JULY 1, 2017 THIS YEAR, DO OVER $12,
BUT THAT WILL LEAD TO A YEARLY SALARY OF $26,000.
I KNOW I ALREADY SAID THIS, BUT LET ME REPEAT: CHAFFETZ HAS A
YEARLY SALARY OF $134,000, AND KEEP IN MIND THAT HIS NET WORTH,
OFFICIALLY ñ WE DON'T KNOW HIS REAL NET WORTH ñ IS $308,000.
BUT YOU, DON'T BUY AN IPHONE.
HE NEEDS A SECOND HOME, SO OF COURSE HE NEEDS MORE
GOVERNMENT ASSISTANCE, ON TOP OF HIS GOVERNMENT SALARY.
BUT REMEMBER HOW BAD BIG GOVERNMENT IS.
OF COURSE, THAT'S WHEN IT'S TRYING TO HELP YOU.
IF IT'S HELPING HIM, THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN HE LOVES BIG
GOVERNMENT.
