Douglas MacKinnon: What do Democrats have against poor working-Americans?
Fox News ^ | June 13, 2019 | Douglas MacKinnon

Posted on 06/14/2019 2:53:13 AM PDT by gattaca

To all the Democratic politicians tripping over themselves to give away the tax money of hard-working American citizens to illegal immigrants, I have two questions for you: First, have you ever been a poor American citizen? Second, what do you have against poor American citizens?

The peasantry should be seldom seen and never heard.

When I was young the “wrong side of town” wasn’t all that far from where everyone else lived. Going to college, going to Med School, my wife and I lived as poor as possible because I had to borrow to do it. On the “wrong” side of town. For over a decade we lived with people who “didn’t pay taxes” for neighbors. We got to know a number of our neighbors. Trust me, they ALL had “their scam” running. They all had some way to make an income “off the books”, almost all of them illegal. The number of schemes they ran was limited only by their imagination and they had histories of having been caught doing various illegal things. In 1975 I had a neighbor that lived in a single wide who was running a business that was “failing” on the books doing body work but did so much cash under the table in “I’m not reporting this to the insurance” he was making $40K in 1975 and most of it was under the table not taxed.
Which really isn’t much different than “the right” side of town when you think about it. The bankers, the merchants, the white collar criminals, they really aren’t much different. Is the auto body guy a worse criminal than some one who lives of a half billion dollar charity that was created from “political gifts” from foreigners? The Hedge Fund managers that make billions from insider trading? How is it a guy who pistol whips people for their wallet every weekend a worse criminal than a guy who devastates an competitor with shady business practices? One goes to prison for life and one is never even arrested?
And I haven’t even gotten around to “How can our country itself survive when we now have had TWO DIRECTORS OF THE FBI get away with TREASON (why not, everyone else uses the word). Smollett, the college admission scandal, #FusionCollusion. Face it, we don’t have a country. We have a Medeival Serfdom.

Yes....there is a BIG difference.
<><> How many jobs did the auto body man create?
<><> How many economies flowed from the auto body scam? Such as retailing, food and travel industries? Home building?

The finance industry, itself, is a huge builder of ancillary economies.......people make money, deposit money,
invest money ...... so that other people can borrow the money for a myriad of purposes.

I think the real population being sold out for illegals is the elderly/retired; it became clear when ObamaCare was to be funded in part by cuts to Medicare. These laws to legalize assisted suicide are to remove these older non-taxpayers as expeditiously as possible; if they linger requiring long-term healthcare, then they’ll die penniless - so loved ones/heirs are expected to pressure them to off themselves instead.

Very creepy...

We have this impression that someone on the “right side of town” has been legit and deserves it. How many Manforts and Maddoffs does it take to realize there are probably as many white collar criminals as “others” but they rarely get persecuted unless they do something stupid like Leona Helmsley (“only little people pay taxes”) or Manafort for the unforgivable sin of helping Trump? Notice what he and Podesta did was only a problem after Trump and even then Podesta skated. The “right people” frequently get away with it.

So true.......thanks for offering proof-positive that some people are smarter than other people.....
the ebb and flow of life has its ups and downs; yet many handle the viscitudes of life successfully.

If the body scam man had any brains he'd know how to make a legit living out of what he does.....
course, he'd have to borrow money from all those "crooked bankers" to get started.

1. Comey
2. Wray or Hoover?

“Face it, we don’t have a country. We have a Medieval Serfdom.”

Thus it has ever been and thus it shall ever be, my friend.

General Flynn, who didn’t fill out some stupid form or something and then got set up by the FBI who flat out lied to him, is looking at 10 years of hard time. Meanwhile Felonia Von Pantsuit is flitting about free as a bird after committing a litany of Federal crimes that would have gotten you or I life plus 3,000 years.

Face it, old chum. You’re f*****.

Enjoy your day.

That guy didn’t have to borrow money. He walked around with a small bank in his pocket!

You know the worst part is you feel like a sucker for reaching this age before realizing how silly it was playing by the rules for 50 years. I do beleive I may have been smart enough to be one of those for whom crime actually pays. Now all I have is the smug satisfaction of having principles instead of vast wealth.

Agree. WHY did Trump keep him there? I don’t get it because he’s truly dangerous.

I think it was Devin Nunes on Hannity a couple days ago who said the FBI is permeated with corruption and corrupt people. It isn’t restricted to the top level.

“You know the worst part is you feel like a sucker for reaching this age before realizing how silly it was playing by the rules for 50 years.”

You and me both, brother. If I ever pulled 1/1024th of what our ruling class betters have in just the last 10 years I’d have been fired, most likely prosecuted, and be living in a van down by the river. What I should have done was become a Dem politician.

But there’s not enough hot water and soap on the entire planet for me to ever get that stench off me.

“Now all I have is the smug satisfaction of having principles instead of vast wealth.”

Let me know when you can eat those.

Wanna get hired as a Harvard professor? Why just check the little box that says “Native American” and voila, why you’re a Harvard professor complete with a sickening self congratulatory write up! No paperwork or documentation required.

Maybe write a cookbook just to polish up phony facade. Everyone knows the Cherokee ate crab salad on toast points. Mayonnaise was the preferred dressing of Native American tribes for hundreds of years after all. And they always made sure to cut off the crusts.

Wanna get your IQ 85 spawn with a High School GPA that would make Blutarski blush into some Ivy League University? No problem! Hell, just slide a few grand into some phony charity, hire a ringer to take the exams, and Bob’s Your Uncle, off they go to piss away a chance some middle class Asian kid who busted his or her ass for four years will now never get.

Enjoy Whatsamatter U, kiddo. Don’t forget to pay full price up front. Just ignore Juan Valdez, Jr over there who got In State tuition and a hardship scholarship because he’s a “dreamer”. Enjoy all that “privilege” you’ve had showered on you. Never mind the yellow color and that funky dorm bathroom smell. It’s rain, honest Injun it is.

Wanna run an illegal home brewed server in your crapper and stuff it full of classified information? No big deal. Just get yourself appointed Secretary of State, be 4th in the line of Presidential succession, and just like magic it’s a “matter”, not a criminal investigation. Meanwhile some Able Seaman gets his ass slammed into military prison for half a decade after taking a few pictures of his bunk.

See how that works?

And our “betters” (spit) are actually shocked that Donald Trump won. They honestly have no idea just how effing fed up over half the country is with their bull****. What’s really shocking is how they couldn’t have seen it coming.

Well, there’s a reckoning coming, my friend. I most fervently hope and pray that it comes at the ballot box. Because if these sacks of crap ever really get their grubby hands on the levers of power and try to ram their sick ideology down our throats things will get very, very messy.

On that note I bid you a pleasant day.

Best,

L

Thanks! You are, of course, 100% correct and we are both sick of it. Yet, somehow today is beautiful and promises to be a nice one.

Poor working Americans need their earnings for their families; they don’t have the luxury of being phony-baloney Marxists.
