On Martha McCallum's Fox News program Thursday, co-host of The Big Money Show Brian Brenberg promoted the right-wing myth that all Americans believe they deserve a life without working.

MacCallum made believe welfare is suddenly out of control, which helped Brenberg transition into his ridiculous rant.

"Today, we think that making someone work for a paycheck is somehow an injustice," Brenberg said.

"We have perverted the term justice so much so now if you work to be paid, somebody says, 'well that's just unfair.' That's not right. How can you impose that on somebody" he claimed.

The "some people say" trope is a constant on Rupert Murdoch's airwaves.

"But actually what we've done therefore, is perpetuate an injustice because we've led somebody to believe that they deserve an income, they deserve a life without having to do anything for it," he whined.

WTF?

Even before Friday's incredible jobs report, the US economy was smoking. This means "people" are working and want to work.

Right-wing myths and lies never die. They just get regurgitated repeatedly by frauds like Fox News and hosts like Brain Brenberg.

Even Fox and Friends had to mention the jobs report.
