We hear Elizabeth Warren regurgitating that famous Barack Obama line “You didn’t make that!” when speaking about business owners. They harangue us with some pap about roads, bridges, schools, internet development, etc. that they ascribe to the taxpayers of America. The mere fact that these business owners pay substantially more taxes than wage earners – and thus paid more for those roads and schools than others – is lost in the “Workers of the World Unite” rhetoric.
But I keep thinking about another group of people pampered by the left – ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS. The left wants to provide these people who have broken our immigration laws with free health care, free education for their kids, etc. These illegal immigrants get to drive on our roads, cross our bridges and have their children go to our schools – assets built by funding from lifelong American taxpayers and without a cent of contribution from people who just crossed our borders illegally.
Funny, isn’t it, that people who provide the public coffers with almost all their funding, provide millions upon millions of Americans with jobs and provide the innovation to make our lives better from generation to generation are denigrated while people who actually abuse the system by utilizing assets THEY DID NOT PAY FOR – are protected and coddled.
Could it be that these coddled masses are the “farm team” that results in power at the ballot box in future elections? Nah, that would be cynical
