Larry Elder: 10 questions for Democrats left on the cutting room floor
Fox News ^ | 10/25/19 | Larry Elder

Posted on 10/25/2019 6:22:08 PM PDT by conservative98

1. About the Trump tax cuts, Democrats like Rep. David Cicilline, D-R.I., claim that 83 percent of the benefits would go to "the top 1 percent, richest people in this country, and the most powerful corporations." But the Washington Post fact-checker said: "The nonpartisan Tax Policy Center found that initially more than 80 percent of taxpayers would get a tax cut, with less than 5 percent getting a tax increase." Why, then, do you keep restating what The Washington Post said isn't true?

2. Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, for years, you've said, "We are now spending twice as much per capita on health care as do the people of any other country." And for years, PolitiFact has said that's false. So why do you keep saying it?

3. Many of you support reparations, but former President Obama said, "Children who grow up without a father are five times more likely to live in poverty and commit crime, nine times more likely to drop out of schools and 20 times more likely to end up in prison." Isn't family breakdown a far bigger problem than a need for reparations?

4. In 1900, government at all three levels -- state, local and federal -- took less than 10 percent of Americans' income. Today, government takes close to 31 percent. How much more income should government take from the American people?

5. In 2017, nearly 40,000 Americans were murdered or committed suicide by firearms, so you've demanded that Congress pass "commonsense gun control laws" to save lives. But how many Americans are alive each year because they used firearms in self-defense?

6. Some of you have proposed a “buyback” of AR-15s and other “weapons of war.” In 2018, according to the FBI, there were 297 people killed by rifles — all rifles, not just AR-15s. But 443 people were killed by hammers, clubs and other blunt objects. And 672 were killed by “fists, feet and other ‘personal weapons.’” Gun rights advocates argue that these numbers show you have lost perspective. Please comment.

Elders is great. He always corrects the liberal urban myths.

No, I'm not even going to answer that, Larry Elder. In summary, no comment.

The Left says “you” didn’t get a tax cut, some like Bernie say that they will remove it (and hike YOUR taxes). Everyone should see the figure of just how much they will be paying come April 2021 when the Rats hike YOUR taxes.

Bernie Sanders wants to spend EVEN MORE on healthcare. Trillions more.

Bernie thinks you ALL should be paying 50% or more in taxes and then enjoy “free stuff” you bought.

Butthole Francis O’Rourke drove drunk, got in an accident, and attempted to flee. He also wrote a fantasy about driving over small children with his car and watching them smash into his hood.

Why does Bozo still have a license to drive and no red flags?

I listen to Larry’s show sometimes but he takes forever to get to his point. He starts talking then pauses and you hear nothing then starts speaking again. He repeats again.
I switch off to another station.

Democrats have their own “truth” — any actual facts based on reality and common sense are irrelevant to them.
