There is no "Democrat Party". Where'd you pick that up? As if I don't know....
How does the left's taxation benefit working people? I'll use California as an example. Their taxes are amongst the highest in the nation, and their schools are bad as well as the roads. Do any of the high tax states have a demonstrable example of how those taxes make life better for the people in those states? I'm don't see why people are so excited about the prospect of giving more income to the layers of bureaucracy. I don't see the benefit the people who live in California and New York get for living that way.
wwwwwhhhhoooooosssshhhhh
If I ask what you are talking about, would you then care to answer why people should be grateful the government is taking more of their money with no results? If it is some uniparty thing, people are still being sold that more taxation is a great thing. Why?
The problem is that in the short term there are results. Short term socialism is generally always fantastic.
Truly it is. In the short term, you get free this, free that, free everything else. It really is utopia.
The problem is, what happens when you run out of other people's money?
Left-wing ideology is completely based on mythology. The myth that "someone else will pay for it".
Typically, this is done by saying "Look at Jeff Bezo! He has $182 Billion dollars! Surely if we tax the rich, we can fund universal health care!"
And if you are a public school failure, you likely have no idea that that is net worth, not net cash, and you can't pay for health care with stock in a company, and even if you could, most can't do basic math to figure out $182 Billion, wouldn't pay for health care for more than a day.
People are amazingly ignorant of the history of the Roman empire. One of the primary reasons the Roman Republic devolved into a cruel dictatorship, was because they spent all their wealth, the nation was in debt, and in order to survive they had to confiscate the wealth of their own citizens, and they needed a strong man dictator to do that, and the people cheered him for slaughtering their own people and taking their stuff.
And we see that today. As much as the left screams about Trump being a dictator, Obama directly said he did not have constitutional authority to change immigration laws, and then did it anyway with DACA by executive order, and people cheered him for it.
You can see how dictatorship will arise in the US, and it will be the left-wing cheering it on.
As it relates to the topic at hand, everyone believes that someone else will foot the bill. Everyone believes that some other person will pay for free education, free health care, free housing, free food, free universal basic income.
When you ask, how will people be better off when government takes their stuff, to pay for it.... well they simply don't believe that, because they don't want to believe that. They don't believe that the lower class in denmark is paying 40% of their income in taxes, and another 20% national sales tax, so they can get free college, and so on.
They simply don't want to believe it. It's that simple. It's not a matter of facts or evidence, it's simply they want to believe the magic government fairy will grant their wishes, and they'll cheer on Caesar if he promises to give it to them.
If you doubt that, just look at Greece. Greece had a deal with the EU, to bail them out. Of course that required cuts to their spending. No one bails someone out, without requiring they make changes to how they live. Otherwise they'll just come back tomorrow asking for more bailouts.
A socialist party stepped up telling the Greek people that they would 'force' the EU to renegotiate their bailouts to not have the cuts. Now even the dumbest of fools outside Greece, could see that obviously you can't "force" someone to lend you money and demand that they have no requirements on the loan. That is ridiculous, but the Greek people overwhelmingly voted that idiot in.
They failed of course, and when the EU realized the Greek people were trying to demand they give them a loan, they cut the loan, Greek defaulted, and the new round of bailouts were even more restrictive than before. They were worse off.
That entire situation of mental disconnection from reality that happened in Greece.... is the entire Democrap party today. An entire party of pathetic children screaming "I WANT IT" at the top of their lungs, thinking that voting will change math and reality on a whim.
As a Christian, this whole thing reminds me of Pilot talking to Jesus. Jesus said "I came to witness to the truth"...and Pilot being a politician in the Roman government under a dictator, sarcastically responded back "What is 'truth'?"
That's the American public of today.
