The Free Crap Caucus disagrees.
The Democrats promote idiotic talking points to explain away the problems.
idiotic talking point #1. The rich have lots of money. You cannot believe the statistics. They lie all the time.
idiotic talking point #2. The rich don’t work. So it is ok to take all their stuff.
idiotic talking point #3. The poor people really built this country, so they deserve all the money. It was stolen from them!
idiotic talking point #4. Reality is optional!
The left isn’t interested in facts or logic. It is interested in obtaining and keeping power.
I don't blame politicians. They are career grifters. They pimp whatever message that enables them to continue in jobs that produce ........ nothing.
(Well, maybe I blame them, but you get the point.)
Mostly it's the fault of stupid voters. Not all voters are stupid, but every RAT voter is not too bright.
I wish the Republicans would stop sounding like Simon Legree and go ALL IN for at least a $12/hr min wage. Stop falling into the trap. Everyone that lives in Realville knows the current $7.25/hr min wage is joke and being for the status quo on this makes Republicans sound out of touch.
Free Shit wins all the time
The problem isn’t that Democrats believe this stuff,
it’s that something approaching a majority of voters do.
The Dem promises are ridiculous. Even reporters know better than ask how they will pay for this free stuff for fear of making their candidates look even more foolish.
Noted the same logic vs. *FREE* h’care wasn’t applied to high taxation\outright theft: (economic) slavery by degrees.
Spending not only has to go *down*, but entitlements need to be ELIMINATED.
IOW: FOLLOW\ENFORCE. THE. CONSTITUTION.
A major problem with the Democrats' big ideas is that the states have never expressly constitutionally given the feds the specific power to regulate, tax and spend for any of the listed ideas.
“Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States.” —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
”From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added].” —United States v. Butler, 1936.
In other words, misguided Democratic hopeful nominees for POTUS should actually be trying to get elected to state governments to push their ideas since the states uniquely have the 10th Amendment (10A)-protected power to care for the people.
In fact, the congressional record shows that Rep. John Bingham, a constitutional lawmaker, had clarified that the Founding States had given the states, not the feds, the lion’s share of government power to care for the people.
”... the care of the property, the liberty, and the life of the citizen, under the solemn sanction of an oath imposed by your Federal Constitution, is in the States, and not in the Federal Government [emphases added].” —Rep. John Bingham, Congressional Globe, 1866. (See about middle of 3rd column.)
Justice Brandeis had reflected on Bingham’s words when he likewise emphasized state power to serve the people.
"It is one of the happy incidents of the federal system that a single courageous State may, if its citizens choose [emphasis added], serve as a laboratory; and try novel social and economic experiments without risk to the rest of the country.” — Justice Brandeis, Laboratories of democracy.
Note that constitutional limits on states as laboratories of democracy is that states cannot establish privileged / protected classes or abridge constitutionally enumerated rights, and must maintain a constitutionally guaranteed republican form of government.

The states won’t be able to do their constitutional duty to serve the people until patriots support PDJT in putting a stop to unconstitutional federal taxes indicated by the Gibbons v. Ogden opinion, such taxes arguably stolen state revenues.
"Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States."—Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
More specifically, patriots need to elect a new patriot Congress in the 2020 elections that will not only promise to support PDJT’s vision for MAGA, now KAG, but will also promise to surrender state powers that the corrupt, post-17th Amendment ratification feds have been stealing from the states back to the states.
And to make such changes permanent, patriots also need to support PDJT in repealing the 16th and ill-conceived 17th Amendments.
Remember in November 2020!
MAGA! Now KAG! (Keep America Great!)

"The constitutionally undefined political parties are basically rival, corrupt voter unions, “union dues” paid by means of unconstitutional federal taxes.” —me
"The smart crooks long ago figured out that getting themselves elected to federal office to make unconstitutional tax laws to fill their pockets is a much easier way to make a living than robbing banks." —me
"Federal career lawmakers probably laugh all the way to the bank to deposit bribes for putting loopholes for the rich and corporations in tax appropriations laws, Congress actually not having the express constitutional authority to make most appropriations laws where domestic policy is concerned. Such laws are based on stolen state powers and uniquely associated stolen state revenues." —me
