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”, quickly discard ALL fact and reason to find some childishly petulant reason to whine about Trump daily.

But then we ALL know the real problem here. You all are still mindless nursing your butt hurt the your poltical god Ted Cruz lost the 2016 GOP Primary.

I would like “Movement Conservatives” to explain the USA’s almost zero import duties in the face of $800B/yr trade deficit? Any other country wouldn’t allow that to happen. It just shows the situation now is “crony” capitalism with K Street corrupting the Uniparty to keep the wealth drain going. Both parties are corrupt. Free Traitors™ are a tiny minority running(and ruining) the USA’s economic industrial power and security.
