To Live Within Our Means,means nothing to Democrats

Why are California and the United States on the brink of fiscal ruin? I believe it’s because of thinking like that of Democrats who are in control of the California’s State Assembly and Democrats who are in control of the Congress of the United States of America..

Listen to California Budget Conference Committee Chairwoman Noreen Evans’ (D-Santa Rosa) reasoning why she believes that her state is in the financial mess that it is in. (see video 1:38mins)

“Blame the people who vote for these guys. That is the crux of the problem.”

Blame the people who promoted the false information about these guys and their agenda that convinced the people who voted for them that they should. If given facts about those people, they would not be elected. 90% of our problems are created by the Leftwing MSM, Leftwing universities, and Leftwing educational system.

Without reading the link, I can imagine her analysis. It’s probably that insufficient tax revenue was collected; the usual culprit these days is Prop 13, going all the way back to 1978.

If only we’d had all that extra tax money, we would have been wa-a-a—a-ay more careful in how we overspent it all. So please, give us more tax money so we can use our superior knowledge and show you how much more wisely we can overspend than ordinary citizens.

The whole idea of liberalism to repeal natural laws and substitute the will of the liberal. Liberalism, for example, repeatedly founders because it ignores natural laws of human behavior such as the disincentives which come from taking away private property.

A main idea of liberalism is to do away with the profit and loss system and substitute a command system with, of course, the chief of the system being the proponent of the system. The whole idea of communism is to do away with the profit and loss reality and create an economy which operates on a different set of principles.

Liberals do this in the legal arena as well. They forum shop. If they do not like political result on the municipal level they go to the state level; if the state level does not avail, they go on to the federal level; ultimately they will take their case to the world court. Each forum is only a whistle stop on the way to the desired result. Liberals are always changing the rules of the game at halftime.

This liberal on-screen complains that tax "loopholes" are never closed, not even in bad times. She has the telescope exactly backwards. Tax loopholes are placed there mostly by liberals to affect human behavior. They use the tax code as a stimulus device much like a laboratory technician might give stimulus to rats in a Skinner box. She has the telescope backwards because she is inducing behavior by permitting people to keep some of their own money. By definition there can be no such thing as a "loophole."

The idea of a "constitution" is constitutionally anathema to a liberal.
