Governor Condescending Elitist Lectures the Rubes
Last week it was scolding a teacher leader for daring to exercise his rights of free assembly to hold a rally at the Capitol.
Now he's sneering at his opponents for being too "unsophisticated" to understand his genius plan for stripping Kentucky's economy down to bedrock before he launches his presidential campaign.
Keep it up, Gov. Craven Heartless Worm. Just like your idol in the White House, every word out of your lying mouth opens more voting eyes to what you really are.
From the Herald:
Opponents of a plan to reform Kentucky’s ailing pension systems lack “the sophistication to understand what’s at stake,” Gov. Matt Bevin said Monday as he urged Lexington’s business leaders to publicly support his proposal.
“The fact of the matter is, this is not good for Kentucky,” Bevin said of the state’s pension crisis. “The people who do not have the sophistication to understand what’s at stake, but will bear the brunt of it, are the ones that are going to suffer if people like us who get it, who are willing to fight for it, don’t step up.”
Bevin’s public push to win over business support for his plan comes as public employees express fierce opposition.
SNIPThis isn't Connecticut, Gov. Carpetbagger. The majority of voters you need are working people who don't have a family trust fund to support us in our old age.
Last week, the Kentucky Education Association held several forums where teachers confronted state lawmakers about the plan, which would require school teachers and state and local government employees to pay an additional 3 percent of their salaries into their retiree health insurance funds, shift most future workers into 401(k)-style investment plans and freeze cost-of-living increases for retired teachers for five years.
After promising teachers in Madison County that he wouldn’t vote for a bill that adversely affected them, state Rep. Wesley Morgan of Richmond became the first Republican to publicly announce he would not support the bill.
“I will not go along to get along,” Morgan posted on Twitter. “I will do what is right for my constituents. This is just one example of me keeping that promise.”
You are not only going to lose this pension fight, you're going to lose reelection in two years, too.

I know what a jerk this guy is, a little bell goes off every time I hear his name, but the majority of people in Connecticut don't have a trust fund either.
Don't pick on CT or I'll remind you where McConnell was elected repeatedly. (thanks KY)....
