I just listened to the 20 minute video of Bachmann and the comment about those who don't work, don't eat was not taken out of context but part of a long diatribe against socialism.
Here it is in a nutshell:
She wants to close the dept. of education. She wants to stop programs such as public housing and welfare and let states decide what to do about the poor. She also harped on weird conspiracy theories about the united nations and how they are trying to control how we raise our children. She believes the role of government should be to protect life (end abortion) from conception on and protect marriage (for heterosexual couples only). She would also end planned parenthood and "Obamacare" because it's social engineering.
One thing she said that I do agree with is that there's too much crony capitalism in Washington, politicians using donations in exchange for favors.
She's a typical right wing nutjob---no government oversight or regulations on corporations, yet it's OK for the government to intrude on your private life when it concerns what you do with your own body.
