Once those billions are all gone, what’s next.....imprison the top 1% and confiscate their property???
The most serious concern is not the long-term effect on the economy. The liberal socialist's agenda to abandon our constitutional Republic in favor of America becoming a democracy is a more serious concern.
Article IV, Section 4. The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government
I bring this up because nowhere in America’s Constitution does the word democracy ever appear.
Consider the fact that the top 50% of income earners pay 96% of the income taxes. From the liberal socialist’s point of view is it really asking too much that the 50% just go ahead and pay the additional 4%. Surely, they can afford it. We now have 50% of the income earners paying 100% of the income taxes. With that under your belt, would it really be a stretch for 49% of the earners to pay 100% of the taxes? Would that really be too much to ask?
Now, America has a democracy wherein 51% of the people can tell 49% how much they will pay in taxes and how to spend the taxes. Perhaps I should say who the taxes would be spent on.

“A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship. The average age of the world’s greatest civilizations has been 200 years.”

There will come a time in this country when the most sought-after commodity is a firearm.
I’m still amazed people think this idiot is somehow so great.
