I'm part of 'society' and want no part of @RBReich 's 'social contract'. Therefore said unicorn contract cannot exist. #GameOverRobert

Last time we checked, America already had a damned fine social contract. We call it the U.S. Constitution. Along comes failed bureaucrat and hopeless ivory tower radical Robert Reich, who is tweeting Americans a new social contract.
The overwhelming response: Buzz off, Bob.
Currently, @rbreich is making stuff up. He's outlining the ideal social contract of Sweden but grafting it onto America's rhetoric. Bizarre.

@charlescwcooke you should he read his stuff from the 80s. SciFi levels of corporatism. #crazypants

The American social contract 2: Everyone should have an opportunity to make the most of their talents and intelligence.

The American social contract 3: No individual or group should enjoy special political privilege based on the size of their wallets.

.@RBReich so, by your lights, what criteria *should* afford some Americans "special political privilege"?
— Jonah Goldberg (@JonahNRO) September 3, 2013
@JonahNRO The implication is that no one deserves special consideration. Who do you think Robert reich would single out as more deserving?

.@bradymakesstuff oh unions to start. Technocratic planners for another. The list goes on. I have you at an advantage. I've read his books.

The American social contract 4: Anyone who becomes sick, injured, or impoverished through no fault of their own deserves a helping hand.

So, @RBReich, we can cut off those who did it to themselves? I'd be down with that. Start with the junkies, go from there.

@RBReich When's the last time you went to a free clinic and opened up YOUR wallet to lend that helping hand? We wants dates, Robert.

@charlescwcooke is he still a thing? Make it stop.

@JonahNRO @charlescwcooke Is Reich running for office? His American social contracts sound panderific.

“Panderific.” We’re borrowing that!
