The American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, the largest public sector union in the United States, released a video of kids reading some of the cruelest and laziest talking points from the leading GOP candidates and it's pretty great.  

"Denying health care to low-income Americans helps them 'live the American dream," one of the kids says quoting Scott Walker. "How does it help them live the American dream if they need to the health care to help them live?"

Excellent question little guy! This type of sadistic, Randian logic should offend any sensible or moral person but when Scott Walker says it, he's labeled a "small government conservative" by our mainstream media. 

Perhaps one of these little guys can moderate the next Fox News debate, last I heard Megyn Kelly is persona nongrata and there's a spot open.
