It's Communism repackaged. I just wish that someone would flat out call them on it, that they're not the party of the downtrodden, but the party of LOSERS. Their message is that, "if you did well for yourself, if you studied hard, if you ***did all the things any responsible person was supposed to do anyway***, well' you've screwed all the people that horsed around in school, that didn't lift a finger to make anything of themselves, and we're going to STEAL FROM YOU TO GIVE TO THEM, because the losers vote for us." The Democratic party isn't the party of the screwed-by-others, it's the party of the people who screwed themselves and don't want to live with the consequences. The result: places like Essex County, NJ where no less than four towns are now trying to secede from the county because they're tired of paying *fifteen thousand smackeroos a year* in property taxes to pay for the blight called Newark. *That* is the legacy and the intent of the Democratic party and I wish someone would just say it already.
$15,000 a year for the privilege of living in Essex County, NJ?
I say---MOVE!
I couldn't have said it better, as a teacher I see it everyday.
Yup.
