According to Business Insider’s Josh Barro, our choice of health insurance is something we can take or leave. But we’d better cling fast to Big Government with all our might!
Before you do anything today better run it by @jbarro b/c you're an idiot and he knows what's best for you. https://t.co/jJjaPImGbZ

Indeed. The Founding Fathers were totes trippin’ when they championed individual rights.
Foundation of progressive politics @jbarro incorrect assumption that hacks and wonks know what's best for misguided, ignorant others

Well now we know why Josh Barro is one of Obama's favorite writers. Same smug dishonest contempt for we The Unwashed.

Thank goodness we’ve got someone like Josh Barro to show us the light.
I wonder if people like @jbarro include themselves among those who don't know what is best for them? (kidding, I know the answer)
— Winston Coolidge (@winstoncoolidge) October 29, 2013
So do we.
@jbarro Everybody but you is crazy, eh.
— Stuart (@Ringo6) October 29, 2013
Except you, right? MT @jbarro Vast swathes of policy are based on the correct presumption that people don't know what's best for them.
— China is lying (@jtLOL) October 29, 2013
But of course! Only leftists are in tune with our wants and needs.
@jbarro Fortunate that we have a single political party and its media wing to dictate to everyone which is which.
— Will Collier (@willcollier) October 29, 2013
Citizens are rightly repulsed by Barro’s shameless statism:
@NolteNC Looks like @jbarro got his logic training from a Common Core curriculum. #derp

An elitist primal scream MT @jbarro Vast swathes of policy are based on the correct presumption that people don't know what's best for them.

That’s a perfect description.

No, @jbarro. You & the government do NOT know what is best for me. You don’t even KNOW me.
— Mary #FlyTheW (@mchastain81) October 29, 2013
Dear @jbarro: At lunch, should I have the regular french fries, or go for the sweet potato fries? I don’t know which ones are best for me.

Josh Barro, saving conservatism one gigantic appeal to the regulatory state at a time.
— American Journalists Publish Chinese Propaganda (@JohnEkdahl) October 29, 2013
@jbarro What exactly qualifies you to decide what's best for anybody? Follow up: What exactly qualifies you to work anywhere but Taco Bell?
— David Burge (@iowahawkblog) October 29, 2013
I prefer @jbarro to most other anti-freedom liberals in one important respect…at least he's honest about his contempt for people.
— Drew McCoy (@_Drew_McCoy_) October 29, 2013
True, but it doesn’t make him any more appealing.
Prob best for this guy to STFU. MT @jbarro: Vast swathes of policy are based on correct presumption that ppl don't know what's best 4 them
— Krystle Baker (@TarheelKrystle) October 29, 2013
That’s a tall order. Might take some help:
@jbarro needs a wise technocrat to tell him to shut up. https://t.co/1ovKpFRXIG
— Maxwell (@maxplaining) October 29, 2013
Heh.
It's okay. We've got you all figured out. MT @jbarro I can't figure out if the people acting outraged at me are stupid or disingenuous.
