If you are a true conservative and believer in free-market capitalism none of this will surprise you. There is very little in the DT agenda that is either conservative or free market capitalism.
These guys sound more like FDR and just another flavor of cronyism...
Well we tried but are we really surprised?
Curious if any of you “Movement Conservative” can comprehend the difference between cutting someone future taxes (i.e. Carrier) and taking money out of the Federal Treasury to make grants and loads to a crony (i.e. GM, Fisker or Solyndra)?
It is utterly amusing to watch supposed “Libertarians” and self styled “True Conservatives” busy mouthing the Marxist economic dogma that all economic output is property of the State and any time the state takes less it is a “Government subsidy”.
That is the base for this absurd “crony capitalism” argument. This dogma that any reduction in government taxation MUST be “paid for” by increased taxation on others is utterly absurd nonsense completely at odds with our system of Government.
Under the US Constitution (and the John Lock theory of the “Consent of the Governed” ) Taxes are the gift of the people to the Government. Government has no right to the income unless the people grant it. Amazing how self proclaimed “Constitutionals” like Levin and you, quickly discard ALL fact and reason to find some childishly petulant reason to whine about Trump daily.
Utterly amazing the sort of absurd intellectual positions “Movement Conservatives” are busy tying themselves into rather then give up their childish petulance that Ted Cruz lost the 2016 Primary
Disheartening.
