Hey Joe: You Gotta Deal in the Middle Class
American Thinker.com ^ | November 10, 2020 | Christopher Chantrill

In the first flush of AP victory on Friday Joe Biden said that the American people had “given us a mandate for action on COVID, the economy, climate change, systemic racism.”

Well, I don’t think that any “action” is needed on COVID and the economy; President Trump had got those pretty well on track, no thanks to the media and social media, and no thanks to the Democrats.

But whatabout climate change and systemic racism?

I remind you what Irving Kristol said half a century ago. If you want to help the poor, he wrote, you have to deal in the middle class. If you want to help the poor in old age, then Social Security and Medicare must include the middle class. Likewise free education.

Earth to Democrats: climate change and systemic racism are Jobs for Gentry programs that stick it to the middle class and do nothing for the poor.

Now I recognize that back in the day clean air and clean water and civil rights were a magnificent achievement of the educated class, to clean up the environment and make it illegal for the government to discriminate on the basis of race and sex. When the great-great-great-grandchildren of Elon Musk are colonizing Alpha Centauri, people will still reminisce about the good old days of clean water and civil rights activism and the evolved, educated heroes back on Earth that made it happen.

Joe only needs to worry about breakfast.

He will never be President.

Will they mock up a basement in the White House so Joe isn’t disoriented?

I have to wonder if biteme wore the masks all the time to cover up his demetia gaffs. we’ll see. In the meantime we on FR need that gif that someone put together of Joe and his wandering hands on small girls, so we can spread it all over the nets. It had the photos all in one frame. I can’t find it now.

He looks like a oatmeal and banana kind of guy.
With a Slimfast on the side.

I’ve been wondering if they were going to rebuild the Oval Office down there.
