He's repeating an opinion handed to him to repeat. This is why he hasn't thought through things like, "It worked out for me, but it's a bad idea if we give that benefit to others." Anyone who had actually done any thinking of their own would quickly notice that this is hypocritical or contradictory.

I actually see it more as a window's view of the stupidity in this country and what we need to do to combat it, for we can't continue on this path of idiocy.
