The promise of America is âLife, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.â
Not if Liberals/Progressives have their way.
1.Itâs not the Left doesnât want folks to be happyâŚ.itâs that they donât understand how to get there.
âEarned success is the secret to meaningful happiness. The government can improve your net worth with a check, but it cannot improve your self-worth.â Jonah Goldberg
Or, maybe they do understand itâŚ.but just donât care.
2. And, if one imagines that the Liberal welfare system is designed to end poverty, wellâŚ.a half-century of failure to do that identifies one as a dolt. On the other hand, raiding the treasury has proved an immense success at what it was actually designed to do: generate Democrat votes.
3. Duplicity and DemocratsâŚ..synonymous???
"The lessons of history ⌠show conclusively that continued dependence upon relief induces a spiritual and moral disintegration fundamentally destructive to the national fiber. To dole out relief in this way is to administer a narcotic, a subtle destroyer of the human spirit."
These searing words about Depression-era welfare are from Franklin Roosevelt's 1935 State of the Union Address
But Roosevelt did what Democrats always doâŚ.put their political future ahead of what benefits Americans.
Economist Jim Powell, in âFDRâs Folly,â notes that a disproportionate amount of FDRâs relief and public works spending âwent not to the poorest states such as the South, but to western states were people were better off , apparently because there were âswingâ states which could yield FDR more votes in the next election.â
And, of course, the Democrat demand for illegal immigration is based on the very same design.
