Alice Rivlin Does the 'Harlem Shake'

The Can Kicks Back organization is out with the below video that will go viral.

It features the 80-year old Alice Rivlin dancing. You don't see videos like this every day. What the video doesn't tell you is that Rivlin is a bought and paid for member of elitist Washington D.C. During various points in her career she has been the Vice Chairman of the Federal Reserve, the Director of the White House Office of Management and Budget, and the first Director of the Congressional Budget Office. In early 2010, Rivlin was appointed by President Obama to his National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform.

The Can Kicks Back organization highlights the growing debt of the US government, but that is it. It makes no connection between the debt and expanding government. It doesn't, in other words, put the debt in context. Watching this video one could reason: Well the debt is too high and so we must raise taxes to cut the debt. That's the only reason life-long elitist insider Rivlin is dancing to the video.

  1. The head movements every time they talk are so annoying.

  2. Red is the perfect color for a bunch of dancing commie elitists.

  3. If that is good enough to go viral than I resign from the human race.

  4. Fantastic post. I bet it is just an attempt to co-opt what the real message should be in favor of increasing taxes.

  5. If you are calling them "commie elitists" then you are a neo-oxymoron.
