Democratic Debates: A Cacophony of Tax Whoring Tunes
The Grunt and Grab Syndrome has consumed the rapt attention of those who would sit in the Oval Office and run things. As usual, campaign promises soar like pigeons on the boardwalk when the popcorn machine is running at full throttle.
There is, apparently, no limit to the number and scope of promises available to the American people by the furious left and a few million illegal aliens not to mention Islamo-Fascists, who are protected to the full limit of what liberals can provide. They can have everything and the ‘rich’ will pay for all this.
Mumbling about ‘fiscal responsibility’[1] seems to lead the charge for money grubbing in the Old Socialist sense.
To wit:
“Clinton, Senator Barack Obama of Illinois and former Senator John Edwards of North Carolina, all propose more than $150 billion a year in tax breaks for middle- income earners and new federal spending on health care, energy and education. They also pledge ``fiscal responsibility,'' a phrase Clinton used seven times during an Oct. 30 debate.”[2]
We can wonder what this might mean. Since the liberals are mere stooges or bumbling lackeys of Marxism-Leninism, albeit, thankfully, with low test scores, they must resort to the only thing that has politically worked for the far left since 1848: Grunt and Grab some money from somebody else. They have little to show for their efforts except for a plethora of inner-city slums[3] and treacherous crime pits [Philly, Baltimore, Oakland, Atlanta, etc..]where there is no hope and despair drives their victims to drug addiction, sloth and worse all paid for by affirmative actions programs and welfare. They supply all the woe and sob stories and conjure word demons like justice and freedom and democracy that have no specific meaning. Apparently we are to believe that the War on Poverty was a success or that the Great Society was really great or that busing solved some educational problems. This disgusting process brokers failure for votes thus leading to more political power. The spirals then goes on and on like a boa squeezing its victim.
The details of the spending and taxing ‘programs’ are always couched in street hustler terms so as to disguise where the money is coming from and where it will finally land. Hookers and dope dealers are actually more honest.
Even some Demoncraps are critical:
``The Democrats at least are talking about paying for their proposals, but they're often using sources of revenue that probably are insufficient to cover what they want to do, or using them more than once,'' said Isabel Sawhill, associate director of former President Bill Clinton's budget office.” [4]
Her career is over.
Double counting is the usual crime here. The liberals ignore the growth derived from tax cuts and bawl about ‘costs’ of the tax cuts which produce the extra federal revenue. This application of circular logic appeals to the uneducated, the hopeless and those who stare at the walls of Sing Sing prison, but have no effect outside of the Cluster of Victims that the left preach to and offer phony promises. It is interesting that the simple fools who believe in this foppishness never question their torturers or ask why their sorry lot never improves and seem to blame others [read non Democrats here] for being forced to live in the projects or slums.
Let us hear from Leon the Peon, a former Republican from San Luis Obispo:
“..if Democrats don't ``face up to the tough decisions and use real numbers,'' it will ``come back to haunt them.''[5]
Well, Leon, making promises that border on lunacy on the left side and outright prevarications and overt crimes [6]on the other side has not driven away the customary 41% of the voters who will vote for left-liberals any time, any place and any how. This is a puppet show that keeps the left in power, along with racism[7].
Hillary now clarifies ‘fiscal responsibility”:
``I am not proposing anything I don't have a way to pay for,'' she said during an Oct. 9 campaign event in Iowa.”
Really?? We can all wonder why she did not give us a firm number and method of payment for her 1993 HillaryCare mess, which was estimated to cost an additional $400 billion dollars at the time. She supplied no numbers and remained silent on the issue for years. Can we hold her to this??
Hillary and the Lesser Dems all promise essentially free healthcare, amnesty for illegal aliens, legalization of many drugs and fluff jobs with the government and she thinks she can ‘pay’ for all this with tax hikes for the rich.
This story is so old and fetid that we have to consider the words just a hackneyed snippet of some 1895 revolutionary speeches by Lenin or other murderous tyrant of the last century. 100,000,000 people died in such ‘redistributions of wealth’ programs intended to bring ‘justice’ to the people. Hillary and her associates coo and faun over Fidel Castro’s phony health care system[8] that has no money for clinical tests and show how low a cost socialized medicine can have. Why not just hire some witch doctors to run rattles and drums on public television?? That would be as effective as the Castro system where he had to rush in competent Spanish surgeons to save his sorry life from bugs.
Notice that the farce of Global Warming[9], where we are expected to substitute wind power or other novelties for fossil fuels and lower our carbon footprint while allowing China and India and other ‘amercing ‘ countries to do what they please are not factored in here in taxes and costs. There is financial silence in the liberal camp on this issue. Who on the left complains that Castro and the PRC are planning to drill oil wells off the North coast of Cuba. It is okay for Communists to drill and sell oil and not okay for us. We have to ‘conserve’ and they do not.
The only thing the left-liberal Democrats have is your money and they will promise anything to get the chance to take it away from you and ruin our society. I am sure the New York Times[10] will find some propagandistic pathway to persuade you that she can balance the budget and solve social problems and deal with Islamo Fascism. Sure, we can believe the Duranty Papers.
Just analyze what ‘programs’ they promise and how they might pay for them.
