This guy didn't pay very close attention to the tax cuts, did he? They pushed the tax burden upwards. The rich got a bigger tax cut in sheer dollar amounts, that much is true. But in terms of who is shouldering all the revenue going into the federal budget, the wealthiest Americans are paying more than ever.
There are crises at the state level all over the United States. Educational institutions are being starved, benefits to the poor are being cut; the proportion of Americans living in poverty is up, as is inequality; a crisis in Medicare and Social Security looms.
That's because liberalism doesn't work. Government entitlement programs will continue to expand and consume resources until there "aren't enough" resources to do everything the program is supposed to do. Welfare doesn't solve problems: it creates them.
And these results are actually being promoted, in conjunction with the tax cuts that, if enacted, will erode the capacity of the state—for generations -- to undertake any but the most minimal welfare functions.
Not quite. Government always has the ability to redistribute wealth. It's just that we see it as a bad thing. The private sector can perform these "welfare functions" far more efficiently than any government can.
