Doug's Dozen: 12 More Things Rand Paul Thinks Are a Disservice To Us

1. 40-hour work week: "Days off" encourage people to loll around with their families.

2. Public health programs: Punish taxpayers who have a natural immunity to polio.

3. Social Security: Discourages the pioneer virtue of working until you keel over.

4. Food stamps: Nothing combats childhood obesity like starvation.

5. Workplace safety rules: Hurt prosthetic limb manufacturers.

8. Student loans: Turn your kids into know-it-alls.

9. Taxes on billionaires: Where will our next generation of power-drunk aristocrats come from?

10. The Post Office: Every Christmas card you send for 46 cents cheats FedEx out of ten bucks.

11. Ending the filibuster: Threatens our central principle, that the minority rules.

12. Affordable health care: Causes you to see a doctor for every little fainting spell or rectal bleed.
