Month: July 2018

The drumbeat from the left is unmistakable…….FREE Education….FREE Medicare for all……FREE ______________(Fill in the blank). It’s as if a Utopian world is about to be unleashed and the COST of these goodies will disappear in a puff of smoke and we will all benefit.

Not true.

A great example is Education. Today, there are approximately 20 MILLION students matriculating to either a private or public university/college. Let’s do some simple math and allocate $15,000 a year to tuition alone (the average between in-state and out-of-state tuition). That would pencil out to a total cost of about $300,000,000,000 a year in tuition costs alone! Let’s be real – THE COSTS THESE TUITION DOLLARS COVER AREN’T GOING ANYWHERE!

But what will the Socialists do to make up that $300,000,000,000?

Why raise taxes, of course!

First, they will tell you that we can get that money by “raising taxes on the rich”. That, again, is a lie. You could tax every person making over $200K by an additional 20-30% and not gather that much revenue – and you would wreck our economy at the same time.  So there remains just two ways to raise that amount of yearly cash – and neither is very pleasant:

A National Sales Tax and/or Added Payroll Deductions.

Let us be very clear – if either is implemented that means one thing – YOU WILL BE PAYING FOR COLLEGE AND YOU WILL BE PAYING – FOREVER! Yes, you will not have a student loan  – which after you pay it off you’re done with it – but you will be paying these taxes each and every day for the rest of your adult life. But it doesn’t stop there! For you wonderful people who have had the grit and determination to make your way in the world without having that sheepskin in your back pocket, you will have the joy of paying for other’s higher education –  for the rest of your life! That’s right, you who have made your own way get to pay those payroll taxes and/or sales taxes to allow OTHERS to go to college! Whooopppeee!

Another “bait-and-switch” of the far, far left that has become the new home for the Democratic Party. They claim this is now becoming “Mainstream” thought, yet,  I wonder who on “Main Street” likes this idea……

The outrage that has been “Trumpeted” by the left concerns the “outrageous” process of “ripping children from their mother’s arms” and putting them in separation facilities. My first thought is that whenever you hear super-heated rhetoric like “ripping children…” there is an alternative motive in play. That characterization is meant to knock you off kilter and put you at the mercy of the person making the charge….discussion over – either you agree with the left or you are a racist.! Typical and well beaten path for liberal attacks.

But let’s look a little deeper into this situation. For example, there are hundreds of thousands of children in the U.S. who are “separated” from their parents. We do this each and every day – and not for criminal reasons. Classic example – a small child in a schoolroom talks about how his/her parents got high on drugs in their home. What is the first reaction of the teacher? A call to Children’s Services and the removal of the child from the home pending an “investigation”. And who advocates this process to “protect the children”? Why, the left of course.

Yet, there is a far greater untold story….one that is so distressing that you NEVER see it on the liberal outlets. That is the very fact that these children who are being hauled through the desert on their way to the U.S. border have an incredibly high prospect of being sexually abused and/or sold into sex trafficking rings.  In fact, the policies of the left put far more children into the hands of these predators – meaning a far greater number of children being exploited by these monsters. Even the Washington Post reported that the policies of the Obama Administration swelled the number of those people trying to cross into the U.S. And, if you think that these illegal immigrants don’t know what lies ahead, google “illegal immigrants take birth control before journey”. The resultant search information will make your skin crawl. Do the liberals care that they are putting tens or hundreds of thousands of more children at risk? The question is never asked……

And there is another side to this situation. What happens after these illegals get across the border? An estimated three million live in Los Angeles County alone. The great majority of them live in conditions best described as “squalor”. Yet, where are the activists who got them across the border? They are far, far away as ten illegals live in a one bedroom, one bath apartment and go to work washing dishes in a restaurant for minimum wage or sew in a factory for $3/hour.

The reality of the situation is this: These activists don’t give a damn what happens to these people a mile south of the border and they don’t care what happens to them a couple of miles after they get across the border.

The right says this is a strategy by the left to use these illegals as a “farm team” to produce children and future Democratic voters. There is some truth to that thought process as we saw a leaked e-mail from Jennifer Palmieri calling the legalization of illegal immigrants “key to the future of our electoral success”. Don’t think that Democratic strategists have demographic tables estimating the number of children being born in the U.S. to these illegal immigrants who will be of voting age in eighteen years?  THEY CERTAINLY DO!

My thought – anything that can be used to facilitate “White Guilt” falls right out of the playbook of the liberal, Alinsky left. In the future, if a liberal confronts you about illegal immigration policy, ask them why they don’t care about what happens to these kids in the desert……..and watch the reaction.

Silence.
