2/7/14, "Democrats Redefine Work: Obamacare Allows You to Tuck in Your Kids at Night," Rush Limbaugh
It starts off with Mr. Pocan, the Democrat congressman from Wisconsin.
POCAN: 'It was implied somehow that if fewer people had an opportunity to get in the middle class, you wouldn't be better off. It could be someone on the lower end, uh, who now is working two part-time jobs instead of three part-time jobs. And what that means is instead they might be able to tuck their child in bed at night and read a bedtime story or go to an activity, which means they're better off, right? At least, that's how it is in my part of Wisconsin.' [video at RushLimbaugh.com]
RUSH: So Obamacare will allow people to work two jobs instead of three and keep their health care and they'll be able to stay home and tuck their kids in at night, and that makes 'em better off, right? It's the way it works for my people in Wisconsin. Elmendorf is just sitting there....(interruption) Now, Snerdley just said, "Do they really think that we're stupid enough to believe this?" That's not the question. The question is not whether we believe it or not.
They do! This is the new tack.
It's so hard not to laugh at this stuff. We used to laugh at everything these people did....This is not their new spin. This is an attempt to redefine what work is, what unemployment is. It's no different than their attempt to redefine the relationship men and women, feminism. It's no different than their attempt to divide the country however they do on climate change and science and all of that."...image from RushLimbaugh.com

=======================
Added: Redefining work isn't a new idea. The left sells it as social justice and saving the planet:
"21 hours"
"A ‘normal’ working week of 21 hours could help to address a range of urgent, interlinked problems: overwork, unemployment, over-consumption, high carbon emissions, low well-being, entrenched inequalities, and the lack of time to live sustainably, to care for each other, and simply to enjoy life."
