Biden and the Dems are harming the hard-working middle class

[Lisa558]

I was smart enough to plan for my future
Guess you weren’t

Who said I wasn’t? I have a very nice nest egg, but even that can be eroded by leftist inflation.

It‘s quite telling how a leftist is quick to call a responsible middle-class saver stupid, but defends the lazy, unmotivated poor people living off other people’s money.

And THAT ^^^ is the very reason that gave Trump the win in 2016. Leftists defending handouts to lazy poor people who won’t lift a finger to help themselves, and then mocking responsible middle class workers because they weren’t smart enough to amass $2 million to offset liberal policies.

What gets me is how it was only small business that was targeted for closure, yet these parasites received "stimulus" payments just like everybody else.

Yup. They actually made out better. They kept their inflated salaries for two days worth of work, paid as if it were five, and then saved hundreds of dollars in commuting costs.

 

[Lisa558]

I believe you were mislead

Many government workers work a flextime schedule where they work 9 hour days and get every other Friday off or 10 hour days where they get every Friday off

I live in DC. I see all the workers on their 9-hour work days at the pool, in the grocery store, going out to lunch an hour’s drive away, etc., etc. Peddle the lie to someone who doesn’t know better.

Are you going to deny that federal workers were caught going to the golf course, multiple times, on their telecommuting days, and playing a round of golf - and collecting a full salary for that?

And you know they’re all federal workers how?

Do they wear signs or something?

I spent well over thirty years working for the Federal Government
There were very few fireable offenses.

Falsifying a timesheet was one of them

Another lie

Many large factories shut down because of COVID
Hardly small business

What state are you in?

Around here, the only places allowed to be open were Target, Walmart, pharmacies, liquor stores (?, and large grocery stores. All small businesses were forced to close. After months of the government not allowing them to make a profit, and while they still had overhead expenses, many went bankrupt. Even today, the strip malls have many boarded up storefronts.

Factories are large businesses
They were forced to close down

 

[Lisa558]

I didn’t say all large businesses were allowed to operate. But ALL small businesses were forced to close.

Our Dem Governor, Blackface, had the state so locked down that he put out a pronouncement from on high that residents were allowed to drive to grocery stores, pharmacies, or doctor appointments (or to render medical care to someone else) and ALL OTHER DRIVES were verboten!

He had his subjects so ocked down that we weren’t even allowed to take a drive to the West Virginia mountains, and drive back. Verboten I tell you!

No, not all small businesses were forced to close
Small food stores, pharmacies and liquor stores remained open

 

[struth]

the demafacist have been at war with the working and middle class for years

they need dependent people, that’s how the left maintains control

 

[Lisa558]

I already said the government let the liquor stores stay open for some ridiculous reason, and the pharmacies as well.

But all small Mom n Pop stores were forced to close, and hard-working Americans with a family business dating back 30 and 40 years lost their livelihoods. Dems don‘t care - small business owners tend to be Republican, and successful small businesses have no place in a socialist society.

If it were up to the American-hating leftists, all products and services would be delivered by the government (that Communist nominee for the currency wanted to wipe out private banking) or large corporations - like Facebook - that are an extension of the government.

G-d willing, we can put a stop to their evil intentions in less than a year.

 

[Mr Natural]

small business owners tend to be Republican,

Except for the ones that hire illegals.

 

[Dogmaphobe]

Denial, by the looks of it.

He sucked on the government teat for 40 years, but was never weaned.

Evil intentions?

It is Republicans attacking our Democracy

 

[Smokin' OP]

Yes, and that’s what Biden is doing - flooding the economy with money while we have a supply chain shortage, which he is making worse by insisting truck drivers take a van that doesn’t stop the spread.

How/where is Biden flooding the economy with $$$?
See post 169, that was Trump.
"Take a van"?

IOW, Biden’s Marxist influencers are working to take down the capitalist economy and replace it with socialism by working both sides of the equation.

Sure he is.

And then we have the idiots like AOC who was elected to represent a district in our capitalist country, condemning our society. I now think she drove Amazon off,

Really?
AOC did that?
How?

February 14 2019
“After much thought and deliberation, we’ve decided not to move forward with our plans to build a headquarters for Amazon in Long Island City, Queens,” Amazon wrote in a statement this morning. Amazon said it is canceling the plans because a “number of state and local politicians have made it clear that they oppose our presence.”

Hmmm, Long Island City...................

New York’s 12th Congressional District is located in New York City. It includes most of the East Side of Manhattan and Roosevelt Island and extends across the East River into the Boroughs of Queens (including Astoria, Long Island City, and parts of Woodside) and Brooklyn (including Greenpoint). The 12th District is home to some of New York City’s major attractions including the United Nations, the Empire State Building, and Museum Mile.

AOC doesn't even represent Long Island City, they are represented by Carolyn Maloney.
AOC represents the 14th district.

killing off tens of thousands of jobs, because like any good socialist, she wants people dependent on government redistribution - not working to support themselves.

The plans for Amazon to move into Queens were largely hashed out in secret, without input from local lawmakers. There was immediate backlash after the deal was announced, in part because of the major concessions that New York agreed to give Amazon to entice the company to move in. That included up to $1.5 billion in incentives in exchange for creating 25,000 jobs. Amazon had promised $2.5 billion in investment.

$1.5 billion in incentives?
No government redistribution there, nope, none at all.

A company worth $1.8 trillion.
An owner that is worth $187 billion is dependent on government handouts is no problem, didn't pay ANY income taxes and likely got a refund.

But a single mother that gets $150 a month in food stamps is a MAJOR problem for republiscum.

 

[Smokin' OP]

That was during the height of the pandemic.

So, what difference does that make the $$$, still comes from the same place and is charged to the taxpayer.

Now we have something akin to a bad flu season, and it is harmful to the middle class to hand out more free money to people who should be working.

WHERE?
Where is the free $$$?
NO ONE is getting stimulus $$$, not people, not corporations, not small businesses, NO ONE.
That was Trump.

 

[Maxnovax]

I’m retired and doing great under President Biden
My stocks and Real Estate holdings have gone up significantly

You live in a red state congrats lol

 

[Smokin' OP]

Yeah, because your president is influenced by Marxists who would be all too happy to see even MORE businesses destroyed.

That was YOUR communist president.

March 3 2018
U.S. President Donald Trump praised Chinese President Xi Jinping Saturday after the ruling Communist party announced it was eliminating the two-term limit for the presidency, paving the way for Xi to serve indefinitely.

“He’s now president for life, president for life. And he’s great,” Trump said, according to audio of excerpts of Trump’s remarks at a closed-door fundraiser in Florida.

“And look, he was able to do that. I think it’s great. Maybe we’ll have to give that a shot someday,” Trump said to cheers and applause from supporters.

Of course, Trump wanted what Xi accomplished.

December 19 2018
President Donald Trump told Chinese leader Xi Jinping that Americans were urging him to amend the US Constitution to allow him to serve more than two terms as president.

"Xi said the U.S. had too many elections because he didn't want to switch away from Trump, who nodded approvingly."

I say that if you are so unskilled that you have such minimal value to an employer that it is up to you to take advantage of tax-funded educational opportunities. That’s what every poor person in my family did - both parents, and their siblings - and everyone ended up in the upper-middle class.

 

[Smokin' OP]

You totally ducked my question, Smokin! (No surprise of course!) Let's try again!

No, I didn't.
YOU just didn't like the answer, no surprise there.

In a situation where supply is limited (for whatever reason!) does it make any sense at all to keep pumping Trillions of dollars into the system?

Who is pumping trillions of $$$ into the system?
Trump already did that.

You KNOW that more money chasing fewer products is going to cause the cost of those products to go up!

YES, I do.

Biden's economic policies are making a bad situation far worse than it ever should have been!

Biden controls the world's country's economic policies?
