Biden/Harris and dem/socialists 2020 congressional hopefuls have a standard line in their speeches which implies billionaires should pay more and more taxes. Their pleas draw huge cheers from their left leaning audiences. In my opinion, these political goons are preaching and pandering to a choir often too full of gullible fools. No matter the facts and statistics this socialist rant remains a standard trademark for leftists and extemeists in every national campaign.
FACT is if all the money and property of US billionaires and millionaires was seized by the federal government the combined wealth would only fund the federal government for a few weeks and it could only be seized one time. Really rich people own businesses and investments which provide vital services or products, hire millions of workers and pay tons of sales and payroll taxes. Our retirement, 401 K and other investment plans prosper when capitalism works and wilts when government imposes too much regulation, bureaucracy, and welfare (for votes) schemes.
Few, if any, so called journalists have the guts to challenge the claims of their dem/socialist brethern on this and other ridiculous claims about punishing the rich to fund more government. More government takes away personal liberty and economic opportunity just ask anyone in Venezeula, China, Cuba or Russia. Class warfare is a losing proposition which only destroys.
When will talking heads and their network bosses challenge politicians when they make statements which cannot be verified by facts and are clearly designed to pander to poorly informed citizens ?
All the stuff about free tuition, free health care, unlimited immigration, more UN funding, police defunding, massive global whatever research expenditures, unchecked abortions (baby murders), Trump crimes, foreign aid (appeasement payments) to our enemies, and many other popular talking points are simply smoke and mirrors designed to sway voters who voluntarily or involutarily are incapable of understanding civics and economy 101. If they truly believe the empty promises and lies of politicians, they surely must also be waiting breathlessly for a Publishing Clearing House grand prize or a lottery scratch ticket worth millions !
All politicians ( republicans and especially democrats) stretch the truth and lie to get votes and political funding. It is disappointing and shameful so called journalists are unwilling or unable to challenge silly and untrue statements and unmask the blatant falsehoods. Unfortunately, when repeated enough by liberal talking heads these lies become gospel in the minds of many.
When will news people, preachers, community leaders, educators, celebrities, and thinking grownups do their homework and destroy the nonsense and flat out lies of deep swamp politicians and their leftist media partners ?
