Rep. Michelle Bachmann has inserted her foot in her mouth once again by claiming that Obama's policies are fitting 19 and 20 years olds with shackles and chains. If this is the republicans idea of winning over the youth vote that overwhelmingly went for Obama

in the 2008 election, they must think that American teens fell out of the stupid tree and hit every branch on the way down.


CHICO BRISBANE to MICHELLE BACHMANN: BITCH! - ARE YOU TRIPPIN'?


This past weekend, Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) appeared on the Northern Alliance Radio Network show, hosted by conservative bloggers John Hinderaker and Brian Ward. During the interview, Bachmann said she was “concerned” that debt resulting from President Obama’s policies are fitting “the current 19 and 20-year-olds” with “shackles and chains.”



To support this, Bachmann then claimed that today’s youth will face a tax rate of “65 percent or higher” because of Obama:


BACHMANN: Well, I tell you what I am concerned about are the current 19 and 20-year-olds that are going to hold this debt. And it’s the mother of all ironies, John and Brian, that the kids who voted en masse for Barack Obama are the ones being fitted with shackles and chains. And they’re going to wake up one morning and find out that their tax rate is 65% or higher. Who is going to get out of bed in the morning if you realize that two-thirds or more of your day is spent earning money? You are working for Uncle Sam and you keep very little.
Continuing her paranoid fearmongering, Bachmann then claimed that Obama’s plans to institute a cap-and-trade program to reel in greenhouse gas emissions will turn Americans into “servants to government”:



BACHMANN: About every 30 years you see a huge piece of legislation that has the potential to change our country forever, that’s what this global warming tax is, the cap and trade. This is the piece of legislation of our time that could change our country forever and that’s why people need to recognize that government will be given control over almost every activity of your life and then we will become servants to government to pay for this level of control. It’s very frightening, the energy tax.
