Podcast: How the Government Ruined my Work Ethic

Here’s the story of how my summer on the payroll of the Virginia Highway Dept. ruined me for life – I’ve had PTSD regarding hard work ever since. At least I learned how not to shovel. The 6 minute spiel concludes with Labor Secretary Elizabeth Dole evicting me from her office after I asked too many questions about job training boondoggles. Give the first 30 seconds a gander – new, improved podcast for The Future of Freedom Foundation

 

This podcast was spurred by a story originally published in The Wall Street Journal and later in Public Policy Hooligan.

    Ha! I remember reading about this when the book came out, but I especially appreciate and love an author’s reading of it. Keep up the good “work”, Jim. 🙂

      Thanks for watching & commenting, Rick! My old days on the back roads of Warren County are gone but not forgotten.
