Steve King: Unemployed people are like kids trying to eat without doing chores

Article PhotoRep. Steve King (R-IA) told a crowd in South Carolina this week that unemployed people were like children who wanted to eat before they had done their chores.
At a closed-door Charleston event put on by conservative activist Mallory Factor, King said that there were over 100 million people between the ages of 16 and 74 who were “simply not in the work force.”
“Now, what kind of a family, if you had six kids and a third of you kids would say, ‘I’m not doing the chores, mom’?” he opined. “If any of them say, ‘I refuse, I’m not going to participate, I’m not going to contribute to the American GDP,’ pretty soon those kids would be on the — you get to eat after you do the work! Not just in hopes that one day you might actually do the work!”
wow you can almost hear the republican voters that are unemployed jumping ship, maybe they will realize part of the reason they are unemployed just made the demeaning disparagement about their character, but some will turn a deaf ear and vote any way.
“And so here we sit, this great big country that is a family, and we have common interests and a common history and a common culture and a common language and we have free enterprise capitalism, and this all should tie us together,” King continued. “See what’s happening?
A hundred million Americans aren’t contributing. And yet, we’re looking out across the border and saying, let’s bring in some more people that are uneducated, unskilled. And we’re going to put them into the unskilled workforce, and somehow we’re going to increase our economy.”
did he just re-diss the 47%?  he is obviously not talking to Americans that believe in American proposed values, what gave it away the common analogies "common history and common culture", do you share that sentiment?  Clinto, "takes a lot of brass to accuse someone of what you are doing", to them denying jobs and unemployment, food stamps, healh care, who is the real bogeyman?
