It’s a good thing that the Democrats have hung their hat on Abortion Unlimited. At least they’ll be consistent. If you want to abort an economy, vote Democratic. There is a difference between the two abortifacients, though. Aborting a baby is intentional. Aborting an economy is a minor matter to Democrats in the quest for power, instill economic vengeance, and funnel bennies at public expense to their political allies.
Take Kamala Harris’s latest bribe to the biggest gorilla of campaign deep pockets: the teacher unions. Sorry, it ain’t Big Oil or the NRA (#262 and #500 respectively in the rankings). The deepest of deep pockets belongs to Fahr, Inc. (read Tom Steyer) and NEA/AFT, teammates in bankrolling Democrats. To cement the incestuous relationship, she wants a nationwide 23% increase in teacher pay (according to a CNN analysis). What teacher wouldn’t be willing to punch her ticket to 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.? But forget about paying for it.
Not to be outdone, Elizabeth Warren wants to bribe millennials – the most “educated” (?) generation in history (meaning the possession of paper, mostly empty, credentials) – with free college and forgiveness of college debt. The whole bribe is to be financed by a wealth tax. Recall, the excise is an old and failed one. 12 European countries had it, and dumped the silliness due to capital flight. Little revenue and a stagnating economy resulted. In her zeal to out-bribe Harris, she could care less.
The rest of the Dem herd will either outbid or bellow “me too”, as in the Green New Deal Stalinism. Like the greenie idiocy, a few party kooks announce the insanities and the ambitious adults jump on board. Amazing! Their bribes and the government takeover of most of life will do nothing but import Stalin’s economy. A vote for a Dem is a vote for Gosplan.
