Divided we're liberal

I saw an interesting commercial for the Divided We Fail PAC, who's mascot provides and interesting take on genetic engineering, by combining a donkey and an elephant. I decided I'd give their website a gander. (Noting that it's connected to the AARP should set off some warning signs.) Of course fronting as a group for some form of unity makes for a nice admirable cover-up, but if you look at their issues page, something stands out.

We believe...

Wellness and prevention efforts, including changes in personal behavior such as diet and exercise, should be top national priorities.

Forget protecting our civil liberties and securing our safety abroad, the state should make sure you don't eat too many Big Macs and hit up the gym every now and again! An unfit citizen is an unnecessary one!

We believe...

Workers should be provided with financial incentives to save, should have access to effective retirement plans, and should be able to keep working and contributing to society regardless of age.

Having money for when you need it later isn't incentive enough to save, the state should pay people to save! Even when you retire, you shouldn't tour the country in an RV, you should stay productive and help the state! The state is your friend and caretaker!
