Well, if there is anyone out there in need of that little
extra nudge to convince them that voting Democrat this November is the right
thing to do, then it was earlier this week that Nancy Pelosi went out of her
way to provide you with that nudge. You
see, it was on Wednesday of this week that Pelosi “vowed” that Democrats will
rework the Republican tax bill if they are successful in their endeavor to
retake the House in this November’s midterm elections. Hey, she convinced me! NOT!!
And it came about while she was speaking at a Culver
City town hall event as part of the Democrats’ “Repeal the Trump Tax” tour. Pelosi pledged to those in attendance that
Democrats would overhaul the tax bill into one that “creates growth, creates
good-paying jobs, as it reduces the deficit.”
And in making it clear how she feels about the GOP tax cuts, it was in typical
Democrat fashion that this shriveled up old hag said, “Over 80 percent of the
benefits go to the top 1 percent.”
Now look, we all know, or should know, that Nancy
favors tax hikes more so than tax cuts. And
in what was a blatant effort to mischaracterize the GOP tax cuts she said, “Eighty-six
million middle-class families will see a tax increase while they advertise it
as a middle-class bill.” Despite her
claim, it’s according to the non-partisan Tax Policy Center that the average
household will receive a tax cut of $1,610 in 2018. Only 5 percent of taxpayers will see increased
taxes in 2018.
And then it was one of Nancy’s trusty little
sidekicks, Ted Lieu, who happens to be another California Democrat, decided to
throw his two cents into the argument by spewing what has become the typical brand
of leftwing fearmongering by throwing around claims about how the Republican
tax cuts would result in “deep cuts to Social Security, to Medicare, to all
these critical programs that serve a lot of Americans.” None of which has any real basis in fact.
Now of course Pelosi didn’t bother to offer up any specifics
when asked if Democrats would re-work the bill from scratch or focus on
specific portions, saying instead her party would work openly with Republicans
to reach a deal. She said, “One of our
complaints about what they did with the tax bill is they did it in the dark of
night with the speed of light.” I think
she must be a little confused here, because isn’t that exactly how Nancy and
her fellow Democrats ‘passed’ Obamacare?
And never-mind what she actually did with Obamacare,
the 2400 pages only put out to Congress the day it was ‘passed’, with something
like 400 of those pages being added just a couple of hours before the vote! If it weren't for double standards, Democrats
would have no standards at all. But if
it weren't for disinformation, Democrats wouldn't have any information at all, and
if it weren't for ‘fake news’, Democrats wouldn't have any news at all. But I digress.
Nancy said, “We’ll sit down at the table and say …
what would be a tax bill that creates growth, that creates good paying jobs as
it reduces the deficit?” And she added, “It’s
not about chipping at this piece or that piece, it’s about a comprehensive look
at what our tax policy should be for the future.” She said, “Secondly, we would do it so it
would be transparent so that people could understand the ramifications of this,
that or the other.” Transparent in the
same way they ‘passed’ Obamacare?
Pelosi’s comments Wednesday come after she said in
February that Democrats would have to “replace and repeal” the GOP tax bill
upon retaking the House. And it was Chuckie
Schumer who offered a more specific proposal towards reworking the GOP tax plan
in March. His plan called for a number
of tax hikes, including lifting the corporate tax rate to 25 percent, raising
the income tax rate to 39.6 percent for high earning Americans and slashing the
carried-interest tax loophole.
Chuckie said, “We want to roll back the Republicans’
tax giveaways to corporations and the wealthy and invest that money instead in
jobs and infrastructure.” All of this
despite the fact that public opinion polls indicate voters are warming to the
Republican tax bill, up from 37% in December to 50% in February. It kind of
tells you how thoroughly screwed up things have now gotten in this country when
Americans have to ‘warm up’ to the notion of getting a tax cut. Bizarre!
But you know, this is all such a worn out and tired
argument, and nothing we haven’t heard before and more times than I care to
count. Democrats knows full well that if
people are encouraged to work and to build lives for themselves, and their
families, they will likely become less reliant on government and therefore less
likely to vote Democrat. So it's been in
recent years that Democrats have seemed less interested in trying to disguise
their platform and now profess to be proud Socialists.
Hence the reason they don't seem to like the fact
that nearly three million NEW jobs have been created in the economy and most of
them are in manufacturing where wages are higher than during the eight years of
Barry ‘O’. Additionally individual wages
have grown by nearly 2.5 Percent under President Trump. And if Democrats do regain control of the
House, the Senate, or, God forbid, both we can once again look forward to economic
stagnation and job losses.
The Democrats seem to be returning to the same
"We intend to raise your taxes. Vote for us!" campaign platform the
rocketed Walter Mondale to his heartbreaking, cliffhanger of a razor thin, 49 to
1 loss to Reagan in 1984, wherein Mondale pocketed a hefty 13 electoral votes.
But this time they are adding a little “furthermore, we intend to flood your
neighborhoods with Mexicans!” We can
only hope that the plan works as well for the Democrats as it did for old
Walter back in ’84.
Let’s face it, when was the last time anyone can remember
when those in the Democrat Party honestly cared about private sector job growth
and debt reduction, especially during the eight years of Barry ‘O’. Barry was only concerned about doubling the “irresponsible,
unpatriotic” national debt, debt that he had vowed to cut in half within four
years. And he was responsible for
bringing about a labor participation rate that was the lowest since the days of
Jimmy Carter.
Thank GOD we now have Nancy openly stating EXACTLY
what it is that the Democrats have in store for the American people should they
be able to return to the majority in one, or both houses of Congress. Now we know if conservatives don't turn out en
masse to keep these Democrats from taking over the House and/or the Senate, we
may never see a Republican president again.
Democrats will seek to punish us and to strip us of every single thing that
we have worked so hard for.
I once heard Hitlery make the claim, I think it was
during her most recent failed attempt to become the first female president of
the United States, that the economy ALWAYS does better when there is a Democrat
in the White House. But when comparing the
eight years of Barry ‘O’ to the first year of President Trump, the difference,
economically speaking, could not be more stark.
And what do the Democrats want to do?
Nothing but to return to the same failed policies.
