A good hint might be the actions the new Democrat Governor of VA has made just a few days into her role, following her promises of making things more “affordable” for Virginians.

Among others, she (and the new Democrat legislature, so they’ll go through) are to;

1) Add in a 4.8% tax on investment income

2) Rejoin some green initiative, which will increase electric bills an average of $1100 a year per family

3) Add a tax for deliveries by Amazon, UPS, FedEx, Uber, etc.

4) Reverse Youngkin’s direction for local police to work with ICE, and turn VA into a sanctuary state, thereby placing more of a tax burden of Virginia earner,

So…my sense of what Dems mean by “affordable” is to raise money on the backs of the middle class in order to keep up welfare programs for people who can’t or refuse to support themselves.

 
Lisa lives in mortal fear that poor people might have nice things.

And P.S. Your nasty personal lie about me is not in keeping with the Clean Debate forum. Either debate like a decent person or remove yourself from my thread.

My observation about Welfare people shopping in Whole Foods is taken from real life. I’ve always steered clear of that store since it has the reputation of being upscale and expensive, but when a welfare person told me her family shops there, I decided to stop in once in a while. Why should a welfare person get to eat better than a self-supporting taxpayer?

Exactly.
 
at other peoples expense. Pinko.
This is why decent people hate leftists. You guys are the antithesis to freedom.

If you define freedom as "the ability of rich people to **** over poor people", then that's really not freedom or anything like it.

I don't go to bed at night saying, "I hope Jeff Bezos can afford a new yacht."

I'm not sure why you do.

Not nice things, just enough things to keep them alive and voting democrat.
Hold on now, Lisa is insisting that these poor people are buying prime rib while she buys ground beef.

So which is it? You wingnuts need to get your story straight.

That's the added graft and not caring about the people actually paying for all of it.

Different things can happen at the same time, all causing problems for the system as a whole.

I think you are proving my point with comments like this.

The only reason why you might be seeing poor people in Whole Foods is that it's tied into Amazon, and if you are having to return something you bought on Amazon, you have to go to a Whole Paycheck Foods to do it.

How dare those poor people buy nice things at Whole Foods!!!

My question is why do you hate poor people so much? Seems to me that hating people who are worse off than you are seems a bit mean-spirited.
 
I'm not sure why you do.
Umm i dont. And your gaslighting is just that. Gaslighting.
You ignore my point and then make shit up. Another reason why decent people hate democrats.

If you make things too comfortable for poor people, they will not want to become rich
Even more than that…..they won’t want to become self-supporting. Right now, they have their medical care paid for, highly subsidized rents, so much free food that they can afford to shop at Whole Foods, etc., etc.

Where’s the incentive to learn a job skill and move into the productive class?
 
Decent people care more about other people than an ideology.
Then why doesn’t the VA governor care about the working class who will now see their expenses go up? Or the fact that she is providing sanctuary for illegal aliens, which damages the lives of the working class?

Sorry but I don't see either of those as being true.
