Belonging To The Democrat Party

What is increasing poverty is the lack of a meaningful raise for the working class for the past 40 years, while management received pay increases which amount to 1000% of their wages 40 years ago. CEO pay has gone from a few hundred thousand dollars to $20 million or more for corporations who pay their workers minimum wages. Taxpayers have to foot the bill for the shortfall.

The USA is the ONLY nation on earth where the working and middle class are expected to subsidize the poverty level wages for the lowest paid workers. Other nations require employers to pay their workers. Walmart pays $14 an hour in Canada, plus health care, mandated vacations and maternity leaves - all the things big American corporations say they can't afford, and yet Walmart still manages to be the most profitable company in Canada.

You're being conned by the owner classes. When you have the highest profits in American history, it's a total lie that you can't afford to pay your workers more.

Right Dem sky high taxes isn't the issue, Dem sky high taxes vampire sucking every last dollar from the poor and middle class isn't the issue...its your CEO talking point.

Americans have the lowest rate of personal income taxes in the first world. Amazon is the most profitable company in the world but it pays no taxes. This myth that Americans and American Corporations are being bled white with taxes is bullshit. Record profits, record dividends every year say this is a false narrative.

The reality is that the USA is living beyond its means. Spending far more than you’re taking in. You need to get rid of your expensive military, and reduce military spending below 2% of GDP, or raise taxes. Those are your options.

If you want the infrastructure, services, security and privileges of a first world country, you need to increase revenue. Interest payments on your debt is about to eclipse social spending in the USA.

No…not a member of that party…..being owned by it.


Don’t forget….that was the avocation, owning folks, of the Democrats before the Republicans pried their other slaves away from them.



1.The central belief of the Democrats, and of all iterations of the Left, is that only the state, the collective has rights. Having no rights makes one a slave to the state. . There are no ‘checks and balances’ for Progressives….government is king, czar, the ‘man of steel, Stalin’….it’s why Leftists call their candidates god, Jesus, the messiah.

2. If there is no individual with rights, there are no intellectual possessions, no free speech, no freedom of conscience. Only the state, the government, the society as a whole, has ownership of anything and of everything….which is why private property is erased under Leftist regimes, whether outright or via regulation and statute.




3. “In the Soviet Union, ‘society’ claimed ownership of the individual: People wishing to emigrate were denied permission on the ground that they would be taking away education that had been provided by the state. Because the education could not be left behind, the individual could not be allowed to disassociate from society. In effect, the individual could not be distinguished from society. This is where the attack on individualism leads.”
George Will, “The Conservative Sensibility,” p.336.





4. No one should be shocked that the same view prevails in a government whose leader envied Joseph Stalin:

The attitude of the FDR government can be seen in these words of A.B. “Happy” Chandler, a former Kentucky governor: “[A]ll of us owe the government; we owe it for everything we have—and that is the basis of obligation—and the government can take everything we have if the government needs it. . . . The government can assert its right to have all the taxes it needs for any purpose, either now or at any time in the future.”
From a speech delivered on the Senate floor
May 14, 1943
Happy Chandler's dangerous statism - The Bluegrass Institute for Public Policy Solutions

One can't be surprised that the primacy of the Constitution ended with the 32nd President.



5. You might recall the most recent socialist-in-charge explaining that very same Soviet doctrine:

“…if you’ve been successful, you didn’t get there on your own….It must be because I worked harder han everybody else….If you’ve got a business- you didn’t build that. Somebody else made that happen.” Obama, Roanoke, Va. 2012

6. Actually, Obama was copying another socialist:

“There Is nobody in this country who got rich on his own. Nobody. You built a factory out there- good for you. But I want to be clear. You moved your goods to the market on roads the rest of us paid for….You built a factory and it turned into something terrific or a great idea- God bless, keep a hunk of it. But part of the underlying social contract is that you take a hunk of that and pay forward for the next kid who is coming along.” Elizabeth Warren, 2011



In each case we hear the echo of the Progressive attack on individualism; it is the collectivist political agenda.
Welcome to the Democrat Party, comrade.

10. There are so very many reasons why incomes will never be equal, that an exposition is limited by time and by space.


If society functions the way the Founders intended, folks will apply their creativity….their individual intelligence, to find a way to benefit themselves. In the free market, every man, woman and child is scheming to find a better way to make a product or service that will make a fortune!

There can be no expectation of equality in the outcomes of such individual efforts.




Written the year of our birth:

“Every individual is continually exerting himself to find out the most advantageous employment for whatever capital he can command. It is his own advantage, indeed, and not that of the society which he has in view. But the study of his own advantage naturally, or rather necessarily, leads him to prefer that employment which is most advantageous to society... He intends only his own gain, and he is in this, as in many other cases, led by an invisible hand to promote an end which was not part of his intention” ― Adam Smith, An Inquiry into the Nature & Causes of the Wealth of Nations, Vol 1




But….if citizens accept positions of serfdom, of slavery to the Progressive Democrat Party, well, yes….then they will accept any pittance the masters decree, and there will be income equality.

Equality of misery.

The big lie is there were labor shortages in eastern Europe during the later Soviet era. The truth is there was plenty of food. The big capitalist lie is to hide that food consumption dropped after the switch to capitalism in the Soviet union.

The biggest lie is communism.


The Germans have a history of embracing authoritarian rule. As the German philosopher Hegel said, “The state says … you must obey …. The state has rights against the individual; its members have obligations, among them that of obeying without protest” (Ralf Dahrendorf, Society and Democracy in Germany).




"Gemeinnutz geht vor Eigennutz" ("The community comes before the individual") concretizes the collectivist belief that individuals have no rights and that "the greater good" is the only standard of value. Under such a system, man is not an end to himself, only a tool to be sacrificed for the Führer, autocrat or ruling mob.

Only capitalism regards man as a sovereign individual with an inalienable right to his own life, liberty and pursuit of happiness. Government recognition and protection of individual rights is the hallmark of a moral, peaceful, productive society.

11. The idea of societally engineered ‘material equality’ is so absurd that intelligent folks rarely give it any thought. But jealous, lazy, poorly brought up folks….Democrat voters….are so gullible that they believe the promises of their being given the fruits of other peoples’ labor….and they’re all for it!





Kurt Vonnegut wrote a short story satirizing the demand for material equality by expanding the idea to equality of every kind.
The satirical essay by Kurt Vonnegut, outlined a strategy for coping with the knowledge that others are a cut above to bring down the more fortunate.


“And so the leveling process grinds insensately on. The Wall Street Journal recently reprinted a Kurt Vonnegut story, which the paper retitled "It Seemed Like Fiction"…Vonnegut saw the trend and envisioned the day when Americans would achieve perfect equality:

persons of superior intelligence required to wear mental handicap radios that emit a sharp noise every twenty seconds to keep them from taking unfair advantage of their brains,

persons of superior strength or grace burdened with weights,

those of uncommon beauty forced to wear masks.”

That's not what I said at all. This isn't communism or anything close to it. This is a fair deal for all. Everyone getting access to a quality education happens in every other first world country except the USA. Like health care, American pay more for education that any other first nation in the world and achieve the worst results for the money expended.

Worse, in the USA, if you want a good education or good health care, unless you're wealthy, you'll be bankrupt. You can't work your way out of poverty without a quality education, but if you're born in a poor neighbourhood, you will have fewer resources or chances of getting a high quality education, because the quality of your education will depend on the tax base in your neighbourhood. Your chances of getting into university will be decreased.

The USA is falling behind other first world countries because your continue to allow the wealthy to syphon off all of the income for themselves, while forcing the middle class to supplement the lowest wages in the first world with food stamps, earned income credits and Section 8 housing vouchers.

The minimum wage should reflect the costs of basic food, shelter and healthcare throughout the nation, just like very other first world country. Shareholders should not be getting record dividends while their employees are getting social assistance to survive.

American can't afford decent schools, infrastructre, healthcare, or income for their citizens, while holding the greatest percentage of the wealth of the world, in history. Other countries manage to provide for their citizens, train them, and provide them with health care. Americans are like the Mad Hatter's Tea Party, except that instead of "no room" at the empty table, they have no money to invest in their people, but they have money for the world's most expensive army, more wars than you can shake a stick at, and a Space Force, but you can't provide health care for your citizens.

You people are the wealth of your country, and you're squandering that wealth in favour of money. Stupid is as stupid does.
No wonder your world rankings are slipping in healthcare, freedom, education, and the respect other people show your nation. Selfish, greedy and uncaring is hardly the nation we thought you were.

12. Here is a real education for socialists/Progressives/ Democrats…..



What if everyone starts off with the same amount of money?

“…. by the end of the first year, some people will have more than others. Guaranteed. Some people, you see, will be careful with what they have. Others won’t. Some people will gamble, others will save. Some will spend lavishly, others will be frugal.

Besides that, some people simply have more of the kind of wealth that can’t be redistributed. Intelligence; education; ambition. Drive, as opposed to: aw, we’re gonna get what we’re gonna get anyway, so let’s just stay on the couch and watch TV. Some people will put a little giddy-up in their get-alongs, and will find ways to improve their own lives.

Some of that will be “unfair,” because some people have more and better resources to tap. Intelligence; talent; family. Even accounting for such differences, though: some people will turn what they have into more, while others will not. Therefore, by the end of the very first year (not to mention the first five or ten) “haves” and “have-nots” will appear.

I know what you’re thinking. Crap. I thought we had it this time. Fairness! And this return to economic inequity will happen, I daresay, even under the strictest Communist policies.

I’ll come back to that.



After ten, twenty, thirty years, those discrepancies will widen. A middle class will form. An upper economic class, and a lower economic class. These classes will not be dead ends: people will be able to move from one to another and back again. But they’ll reappear, despite the original, radical redistribution of wealth.

So: let’s take this exercise further. Rather than a one-time redistribution of wealth, let’s redistribute every year. Every April 23 – Michael Moore’s birthday – all wealth is redistributed. All wages set by Central Command. Everyone is as equal as it’s possible to make them. Even individual advantages are nullified.

Not really, but we’ll come back to that, too.



Obviously, that system does away with any incentive to create. It removes any incentive to save; to be frugal; to work hard. Because no matter what you do, what you get is predetermined.

And yet, by April 22 of the following year, some people will still have more than others. And they’ll keep it.

How can that be? Simple. Even state-enforced economic “equality” did not – cannot – make everyone “equal.” It can only change the attributes that are most important to getting ahead.

Sucking up to your superiors becomes more important than working hard. Figuring out which bureaucrats can do the most for you, and ingratiating yourself to them.

Using the power of government to get you ahead, instead of creating, making, building, selling. Improving technical or academic skills? What for? Improving political skills. That’s what makes a difference.

You may recognize a little of our current system there. More and more, becoming a “have” in our society requires entering the bureaucracy, or getting the bureaucracy on your side.



Even the hard working entrepreneurs and innovators among us increasingly need the bureaucracy’s help. Vast mazes of regulations give bureaucracies vast power over both you and your competitors. Government can make or break an industry. Make or break a company. It can increase the cost of entry beyond plausibility, or it can make that cost go away.

In the free market, wealth comes from work. The closer we move toward socialism, the more wealth comes from power. That’s the difference. The similarity: wealth still exists in relatively few hands.”

America's Founders:
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed, by their Creator, with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness.



That view is denied by Democrats/Progressives/Liberals:

Woodrow Wilson wrote, “If you want to understand the real Declaration of Independence, do not repeat the preface.” Equality, natural rights, consent of the governed— these are not the fundamental principles that inform the purpose of government."

Clearly, you've earned the sobriquet 'low-life lying Liberal."
Wear it well.

Who gives any f~cks what Woodrow Wilson believed a century ago? We are talking about today.

The Democrat agenda and priorities are the same as Democrat Wilson admitted, you dunce.



The Democrat Party is now running on full-blown anti-white racism, socialism, infanticide, opposition to free speech, substituting illegal alien voters for the American citizenry, and anti-Semitism… the knuckle-dragging, atavistic pagan party.
See those unalienable God-given rights in there?
Me neither.

When was the last time you heard a republican extol the values of individual liberty? 2013?

 

[PoliticalChic]

Link or lie, dunce.

You asked.

Donald Trump Thinks Kelo-Style Eminent Domain is 'a wonderful thing'

Opinion: Trump seizing private property for his wall? Don't say he didn't warn you, GOP

Why the President Praises Dictators

All you can come up with is the time-tested policy of eminent domain....and a President trying to gain better trade policies????


That certainly doesn't help you to shake off being a lying low-life Liberal....it establishes it.


Your lesson for today:

America's Founders:
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed, by their Creator, with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness.

Since the 32nd President, Democrat Franklin Roosevelt, the Democrats have eschewed the Constitution in favor of an imperial presidency.


In July 5, 1935, in a letter to Representative Samuel B. Hill of Washington, the President manifested his contempt for the Constitution. Hill was chairman of the subcommittee studying the Guffey-Vinson bill to regulate the coal industry: the purpose of the legislation was to re-establish, for the coal industry, the NRA code system which the Supreme Court had unanimously declared unconstitutional. Roosevelt wrote: "I hope your committee will not permit doubts as to constitutionality, however reasonable, to block the legislation.

This was the same Roosevelt who had sworn an oath on his 300 year old family Bible, to "preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States." Manly, "The Twenty Year Revolution," p. 65.




It is a fact that none of the New Dealers were constitutionalists. Roosevelt's economist, Rexford Tugwell said: Any people who must be governed according to the written codes of an instrument which defines the spheres of individual and group, state and federal actions must expect to suffer from the constant maladjustment of progress. A life' which changes and a constitution for governance which does not must always raise questions which are difficult for solution." Manly, "The Twenty Year Revolution," p.63



One must really hate America to be a Democrat.
Raise your paw.

 

[Mac1958]

If you want the infrastructure, services, security and privileges of a first world country, you need to increase revenue. Interest payments on your debt is about to eclipse social spending in the USA.

No. They would rather be played for fools by talk radio and the GOP.

They cheer for mindless tax cuts and for a 2.0% GDP, while exploding the deficit with lotsa cool & juicy gubmit spending.

Point out facts like that and it's TDS fake news, of course.

Intellectually, they are simply not here. They are not connected. They are now completely encased in their alternate reality.

No…not a member of that party…..being owned by it.


Don’t forget….that was the avocation, owning folks, of the Democrats before the Republicans pried their other slaves away from them.



1.The central belief of the Democrats, and of all iterations of the Left, is that only the state, the collective has rights. Having no rights makes one a slave to the state. . There are no ‘checks and balances’ for Progressives….government is king, czar, the ‘man of steel, Stalin’….it’s why Leftists call their candidates god, Jesus, the messiah.

2. If there is no individual with rights, there are no intellectual possessions, no free speech, no freedom of conscience. Only the state, the government, the society as a whole, has ownership of anything and of everything….which is why private property is erased under Leftist regimes, whether outright or via regulation and statute.




3. “In the Soviet Union, ‘society’ claimed ownership of the individual: People wishing to emigrate were denied permission on the ground that they would be taking away education that had been provided by the state. Because the education could not be left behind, the individual could not be allowed to disassociate from society. In effect, the individual could not be distinguished from society. This is where the attack on individualism leads.”
George Will, “The Conservative Sensibility,” p.336.





4. No one should be shocked that the same view prevails in a government whose leader envied Joseph Stalin:

The attitude of the FDR government can be seen in these words of A.B. “Happy” Chandler, a former Kentucky governor: “[A]ll of us owe the government; we owe it for everything we have—and that is the basis of obligation—and the government can take everything we have if the government needs it. . . . The government can assert its right to have all the taxes it needs for any purpose, either now or at any time in the future.”
From a speech delivered on the Senate floor
May 14, 1943
Happy Chandler's dangerous statism - The Bluegrass Institute for Public Policy Solutions

One can't be surprised that the primacy of the Constitution ended with the 32nd President.



5. You might recall the most recent socialist-in-charge explaining that very same Soviet doctrine:

“…if you’ve been successful, you didn’t get there on your own….It must be because I worked harder han everybody else….If you’ve got a business- you didn’t build that. Somebody else made that happen.” Obama, Roanoke, Va. 2012

6. Actually, Obama was copying another socialist:

“There Is nobody in this country who got rich on his own. Nobody. You built a factory out there- good for you. But I want to be clear. You moved your goods to the market on roads the rest of us paid for….You built a factory and it turned into something terrific or a great idea- God bless, keep a hunk of it. But part of the underlying social contract is that you take a hunk of that and pay forward for the next kid who is coming along.” Elizabeth Warren, 2011



In each case we hear the echo of the Progressive attack on individualism; it is the collectivist political agenda.
Welcome to the Democrat Party, comrade.

People with nothing to hide release their taxes and don’t require NDAs

Oh....so Obama never made everyone that survived Benghazi sigh an NDA???

Congressman: Benghazi Survivors Forced to Sign Non-Disclosure Agreements

John Brennan: Political Hack

Rep. Wolf: CIA employee who refused to sign non-disclosure on Benghazi suspended

All you need to know

If these reports are accurate, this would be a stunning revelation to any member of Congress,

Not really, since Obama got away with murder....literally.
I think it's because Obama was spying on everyone and knew every little thing they were doing.....not to mention the fact that Congress as a whole is fucking us over because of all of the theft from our Social Security fund. Not only were they borrowing roughly $500 billion every year from it, but we have to pay the interest on the debt from it.

Nobody has said it doesn't rely on global trade. What we have said is that trade should be mutually beneficial and certain rules should be in place, which is why there is a WTO, an organization in which China is a non-compliant member. Us Trump supporter clearly understand this better than the Democrats. What we cannot have is a global, one-world government with no borders. This seems to be the goal of the left. It is idiotic, not to mention prophetic.

China is an ally. China is better for Jews historically than America with it's long history of antisemitism. History of antisemitism in the United States - Wikipedia

I bet there are some days when you find it not worth the effort to chew through the restrains, huh?

When was the last time China shot up the synagogue? List of attacks on Jewish institutions in the United States - Wikipedia

When was the last time you had the Stanford-Binet Exam?

China has a lower homicide rate than the United States, because they limit guns. Of course Chinese are educated, and work hard, they aren't losers who blame their failures on Jews.

What do you know, another Democrat praising a Communist country and denouncing the US.
