In the new nation that Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota seeks to create, the "capitalist system" will be left behind in pursuit of a "fair and just economy" where the federal government guarantees everybody jobs, housing, health care and free abortions.
How can we know this? She has declared it in writing.
Omar's campaign website includes a section called "Ilhan's Vision." The agenda it presents contradicts foundational American principles -- particularly the rights to life and property -- that were spelt out in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution.
The declaration says that "all men are created equal" and "endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights."
The Fifth Amendment says, "No person shall be ... deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation."
The 14th Amendment makes clear that the rights protected by the Fifth Amendment apply to everyone and cannot be violated by the states. It says, "nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws."
In "Ilhan's Vision," a government that recognizes the right to private property is an unjust government.
"The capitalist system has led to a concentration of wealth in a small handful of elites while working people suffer," says Omar's vision statement. "We must stop the exploitation of working people to create a fair and just economy."
One policy she proposes to help move America away from the "capitalist system" toward a "fair and just economy" is to have the federal government guarantee everybody a job and a wage.
"A federal jobs guarantee would provide meaningful work to anybody who wants it," says her vision statement. "The program would: Provide a wage of at least $15 an hour, healthcare coverage, and benefits."
But this is only the start of Omar's vision for liberating America from the "capitalist system."
She also proposes a program she calls "Homes for All." It is designed to move America away from a "free market" in residential real estate toward what Omar calls "publicly- and cooperatively-owned models of housing."
"Housing is a human right," Omar says in her vision statement. "However, the free-market does not meet the needs of working families, while big banks and for-profit developers continue to profit off of working communities."
Imagine that: In this country, for-profit homebuilders profit by providing housing to people who earn money by working.
To stop this outrage, Omar says, "We need to move towards publicly- and cooperatively-owned models of housing for all income-levels."
Does this mean House Speaker Nancy Pelosi or her descendants should someday live in publicly or cooperatively owned housing? How about Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer?
In the nation Omar envisions, a population that is guaranteed government-funded jobs and is living in "publicly- and cooperatively-owned models of housing" will also rely on a health care system controlled by the central government.
"Ilhan will fight for Medicare for All, a single-payer healthcare system that guarantees quality care for every American," says "Ilhan's Vision."
Under Omarcare, no one will pay anything for any health care service.
Her system would "Require no out-of-pocket costs for patients for any services."
That would include the killing of unborn children.
"It is horrifying that we continue to fight for the right to seek an abortion and access reproductive freedom," says "Ilhan's Vision." Her system would "Provide abortion coverage and care regardless of income or insurance."
How will Omar pay for her vision? By taking more of your income and targeting family-owned businesses.
"Ilhan's Vision" will "Create a more progressive tax system by increasing income tax for the wealthiest Americans."
It would also "Strengthen the estate tax to limit the amount of inter-generational wealth that can be accumulated in the wealthiest families."
Massive public stock corporations do not pay estate taxes. Family-owned businesses do. The net effect is forcing families to sell their businesses to public corporations to raise money to pay a tax imposed on the death of a family member.
This death tax enriches big government and big business at the expense of families.
It also helps illustrate how Omar's vision would turn the America Dream upside down.
It would take money from parents who have worked hard and saved to build a business they want to pass on to their children and give that money to individuals who want to abort their children.
Who is more likely to lead America to a better tomorrow, those who work to build a family legacy? Or those who take a government handout to terminate theirs in the womb?
Ignorant, arrogant, hateful, and a woman of color (her words). She’s got it all!
Why is this person still in the Congress? She represents CAIR, The Muslim Brotherhood, not America....
Make America Venezuela!
You can witness just how well these ideas are working out in “Little Mogadushu” in the Twin Cities:
Right- and use ‘Monopoly money’ to cover it all. Sheeesh
Ah, the eminations of an idiot congresscritter, member of a corrupt political party, from a totally failed sh*thole country, adhering to a death cult, never advanced religion.
Such is the best of the Dimbulbcrat party.
If these folks gain ascendancy, it’s CW-II or ruin.
Period.
I’d be happy to give her some rights. And a few lefts to go with it.
Stupid idiot. It’s policies like what she’s advocating that made her “home country” such a hell hole that people are leaving as fast as they can!
IOW, enslave whitey. Got it.
“Make America Somalia, kafirs!”
She speaks for the S***hole Squad.
There...fixed.
Exactly what is the Muslim stance on abortion? I don’t think I’ve ever seen reference to it anywhere.

This might help:
ISLAM AND ABORTION

Paint them with the same brush until Nancy rejects these positions.
>Who’s pays for all that?
Secondary to the root Q: By WHAT authority (please sync your answer vs. every other Amendment)?
“Unless she was just lying when she did so.”
Of course she was lying. The truth is not in her. I heard that speech of hers the other day, and reject the entire premise of her argument. She isn’t speaking mistruth out of ignorance, she is deliberately lying to further an agenda. She should be made an example of to discourage this type of nonsense in the future.
Go home, commie!
Islam is a socialist scheme, and combined with Communism, possesses a most synergistic political force.
But ALL socialist schemes rely on a very strong personality to get them launched, and once put in place the scheme can only work until they run out of Other People’s Money. Once that happens, either the regime becomes a military dictatorship, or endless chaos ensues.
Socialism completely misreads human nature, which places an extraordinary emphasis of personal avarice, plain old naked greed, which has served the human species very well all down through history. Somehow, appeals to altruistic impulses, the desire to help the weak and defenseless in their distress, go unheeded when it comes down to an existential threat for individual survival, a situation which prevails very quickly during periods of anarchy, or while under the yoke of a totalitarian regime, neither one of which is a good outcome.
“The declaration says that “all men are created equal”...”
But they aren’t....this only refers to in the eyes of the law.
