Former Sen. Claire McCaskill was roasted by Tucker Carlson and others for her comments Wednesday about Hurricane Ian as it barreled through Florida.
"Now the one thing I do hope, Joe, to put a little politics in this," she said on MSNBC's Morning Joe. "We all are praying for the people of Florida. We hope the devastation is not deadly. We are glad for the cooperation, but when it’s all over, I hope some of those Floridians who hate the federal government remember that the federal government is there for them at a time of disaster.
Almost nobody actually"hates the federal government" in the abstract. Maybe people hate that the federal government falsifies evidence, lies to judges, and arrests you with guns blazing at 3 a.m. for a trivial offense. Maybe they hate a government that takes half their paycheck and wastes most of the money making societal problems worse, not better.
Everyone who believes in the Constitution agrees, by definition, that government has some kind of rightful place in society. Even among the most extreme libertarian types, you would never find more than a tiny handful who agree that"all government is evil," as Murray Rothbard maintained.
