"Why is it that the Democrats never think of ways to expand liberty? And opportunity, and creativity, and productivity? Instead they're always trying to choke the golden goose. And they think they'll choke the golden goose, and yet the golden goose will continue to lay golden eggs. It doesn't work that way!"
[Referencing WSJ]:
Democrats are eager to tap that mountain of wealth to finance priorities such as expanding health-insurance coverage, combating climate change and aiding low-income households. Their ideas range from new rules on inherited assets, to a plan by Sen. Ron Wyden for annual taxes on unrealized gains, to a proposal from Sen. Elizabeth Warren’s to tax wealth itself.
“They use this Marxist class warfare to get what they want. None of these people with these proposals have ever created jobs in the private sector. None of them have had to meet payrolls. None of them have paid salaries. None of them have paid pensions. None of them have paid medical care for their folks and so forth. They haven’t invented a thing. They haven’t produced a thing. They’re politicians.”
Of course not, but don't let that, or their supposed supporters, get in the way of their conflicted central planning...
MLS, 8/27/19: ...latest national poll by Monmouth University shows a three-way tie for presidential Candidates Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, and Joe Biden. However, contrary to what we’ve been told, the majority of Democrats (78%) do not support the abolition of private Healthcare which is what Medicare-For-All calls for. Such a healthcare proposal would increase income taxes by 216% for what Democrat call ‘the middle class.’ A federal wealth tax is how they plan to sell it, but this won’t expand liberty and opportunity, this will only confiscate more earnings from people that the Democrats label as “wealthy.” This leaves the Democrats vulnerable to solely rely on reparations for the progeny of slaves, an interesting position for the Party that started the KKK, voted against the Civil Rights Act, and created the Jim Crow laws.
Always more taxes in the name of the next contrived social ailment with a promise to 'solve' because they know better, yet always resulting in more broken civilization and less liberty for the common citizen. And to do it in the name of constitutional rule no less! Just as you can't kill the golden goose and expect more golden eggs...
MLS, 9/3/19: All of the 2020 Democrat candidates that trash the Constitution and Bill of Rights should visit the National Archives and see them in person. Those offering free this and free that are using the hook of tyrants to lure people away from liberty needed to personally witness our founding documents. However, the left teaches that we are to hate our founding, the NY Times lies and says that the country was founded in 1619 on the basis of slavery. We now have a major political party, the Democrats, that have as their purpose to fundamentally transform America by ignoring and eliminating the Bill of Rights and our founding overall.
“More and more people in this country want simple answers to complicated issues. So if somebody says, ‘I will give you free health care,’ or ‘I will give you free college,’ or ‘I will wipe our your medical debt’ — that’s a new one by Sanders — or ‘I will wipe out your college debt.’ ‘I’ll make everything easy for you, free for you,’ which is the hook of tyrants, to get you to surrender liberty, destroy the rule of law, destroy civil society, and then they have you by the throat. When you look at these documents, and if you’ve actually read them, you understand: This is about liberty, and they’re about tyranny. ...
We’re not taught to love our country. We’re not taught to revere our Founding. We’re taught to hate our Founders. The New York Times has a massive propaganda campaign going on right now, that the nation was founded, America, in 1619, on slavery. No, it wasn’t. The vast majority of America never owned slaves. It wasn’t founded on slavery. And the United States of America wasn’t founded in 1619, either, was it? No, it wasn’t.”
“The progressive movement is a cancer to a constitutional republic. It’s why its early intellectuals trashed the Constitution, trashed the Declaration of Independence, trashed the Founding Fathers. Because you can’t fundamentally transform America if you abide by this Constitution. And you can’t embrace progressivism if you embrace the Declaration.”
And with both the candidates and their media mouthpieces constantly conspiring ways to divide Americans and drag the country down, this circles right back around to never thinking of ways to expand liberty, vis-à-vis the propaganda peddlers over at the Circus News Network (next post!)...
