You won't believe the price tag for all that free stuff offered by Dem candidates
americanthinker.com ^ | 10/15/2015 | Rick Moran

Posted on 10/15/2015 7:29:42 AM PDT by rktman

Any time you get a bunch of Democrats together in the same room, it is recommended that you grab hold of your wallet tightly and lock up the family silver. You also might want to hide your wife and daughters - just to be safe.

The Democratic presidential candidates who took the stage for their debate on Tuesday night tried to outdo one another in rushing to give away tax dollars on wild spending schemes. How much are we talking about? The Washington Times has some thoughts:

Hmmmm. Looks like Mr. Moran missed the message. Hey Rick, it's FREE! Nobody has to pay for it because it's FREE. Sheesh, how hard is that to understand?

That’s the philosophy Obama and his friends in the “Republican” congress have been operating under.

Typical democrap stump speech....

“Vote for ME, and I’ll confiscate money from those who work for a living and I’ll give it to everyone who sits on their a$$, and every illegal alien who runs across the border!”

If somebody is getting something for nothing, or at least for very little, then somebody, somewhere, is getting nothing for something, or getting very little in exchange for something of great value.

Somebody has to be getting cheated, and very badly, in this deal.

And it is even worse when you pull the cheat on yourself.

Nobody of consequence. At least vote-wise.

You gotta rub the magic lamp and repeat the “vote for me and it’s all free.” mantra. Presto changeo, free housing, free car, free gasoline, free med coverage, free phones, etc., ect.

Sadly, we have a younger generation indoctrinated in the commie public schools into embracing all this “free stuff.” They honestly don’t grasp the concept that someone — most likely them — will be paying for all that free stuff. They have no idea where that free stuff comes from. Actually, many of them don’t really care how its paid for or by whom, so long as it’s there.

Your free stuff is a letter from the IRS demanding more money.

But it won’t cost you anything because we’ll just steal the money from the rich*.

* - not to imply we will get the money from the politically-connected donor class who will be granted exemptions and waivers.

Its EASY.

Just have the US Government issue another $2 Trillion in debt, the Federal Reserve will print money to pay for it (after giving their Wall Street members a cut), and then they’ll suppress interest rates, so no one has to worry about the cost of the debt - which will just get inflated away eventually anyway, because the US Dollar is backed by nothing.

Its worked for the last 40+ years, so why shouldn’t people expect the bread and circuses to continue?

A democracy is always temporary in nature; it simply cannot exist as a permanent form of government. A democracy will continue to exist up until the time that voters discover that they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates who promise the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that every democracy will finally collapse due to loose fiscal policy, which is always followed by a dictatorship.

Some is gonna have to give up their slice of pie so some one else can have more.

Lets double down on the system. Instead of inventing various ways to give free stuff away....just gimmick-up a check for $10,000 to each guy or gal who works and only makes $8 an hour. Cut out the middle-man, the program-chiefs, the administrative cost....just write the stupid check to the guy and let them know that they bought your vote.

Curiously, no Congressman or Senator will vote for this simplistic method. It has to be a program, tied to a free project, that they can manage and talk about for hours and hours in some interview.

Have they even stopped to consider that even at a hundred percent income tax on the top 1% wouldn't be a drop in the bucket as far as the cost of these "free" programs are concerned.

Sanders also said he wanted to raise money through the placement of a tax on financial transactions--is he talking stock trades, real estate transactions, short-sales? Or, is he talking about placing a fee on a written check, an ATM visit, or even a charge card purchase for that matter? What about a deposit in a 529 plan, or a withdrawal against a 401(k)? This is just plain evil, and I think this proposal has been glossed over in the press.

Will the media dissect such a plan? Will they consider the effect it could have against the economy? It cannot be a positive one, that's for certain.
