Econ 101 lady. Take one class then maybe you’ll know what happened. These people literally believe that the money should come from the “rich owners” and “rich corporate officers”. They have “plenty” and need to share. That’s the mentality.
Reading this would be faster, cheaper, and more likely to make the lights come on:

This story reminds me of when the Teamsters unionized my Dad’s warehouse in the 1960’s in Chicago. For a seventy-five cent per hour raise enough of the workers voted to join the union. My Dad stopped feeding the workers lunch yes there was a cafeteria but it became off limits to the union workers they had to bring there lunch and eat in the warehouse. He stopped furnishing uniforms but still expected them in clean pressed uniforms which they now had to buy and keep laundered on their own. And the best one of all they were no longer eligible for the profit sharing plan which cost most of the workers between $2,000 and $3,000 per year. When you added the union dues on top of all the lost benefits they were taking home far less than when they joined the union.
Oh and I was working alongside them my Dad cut a deal with the union that I didn’t have to join so I still got the increase in pay and didn’t have to pay the union dues.
That is the exact mentality of the democrats in my family. All are financially screwed (living way beyond their means) and expected me and my husband to bail them out. At first, we loaned them money but, then they refused to pay us back, saying that since we had the money, we should just give it to them.
I haven’t had contact with any of them since then, going on 7 years. They always resented our hard earned successes and took every chance to make snide remarks about us. Sad for them, but my life is so much better without them.
