Related: About this forumMike Malloy - Cresent Hardy: "Disabled Children Are A Drain On Society"
Cresent Hardy (R-NV) said recently at a Libertarian Party event that he hoped his children would never be a drain on society like people who were disabled.
In audio published this week by the Nevada State Democratic Party, Hardy can be heard speaking to attendees at the Libertarian Political Expo in Las Vegas.
I have three children, Hardy explains. One of them is summa cum laude and two were magna cum laude. The other one, he didnt need an education. He works for Raytheon, smarter than all the rest. He works hard, he builds things that are genius. Some people have that ability.
But they all work hard. They are raising their own families, he continued. They will not be a drain on society, the best they can. Hopefully they will never have some disability that causes them to have to utilize that.

(32,723 posts)Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children.
The cost of one modern heavy bomber is this: a modern brick school in more than 30 cities. It is two electric power plants, each serving a town of 60,000 population. It is two fine, fully equipped hospitals. It is some 50 miles of concrete highway.
We pay for a single fighter plane with a half million bushels of wheat.
We pay for a single destroyer with new homes that could have housed more than 8,000 people.
This, I repeat, is the best way of life to be found on the road. the world has been taking. This is not a way of life at all, in any true sense. Under the cloud of threatening war,...
...it is humanity hanging from a cross of iron.
-- Dwight D. Eisenhower
None of them are drains on society. How many government contracts does Raytheon have, again?
Gotta love those libertarians. Favorite subject: themselves.
