Barack Obama: Promising Everything To Everyone
The main reason that the Democratic Party has any support is because of their never-ending promises to steal money from the people who earn it and give it to the people who didn’t.
At a campaign stop in Illinois, Barack Obama claimed that the Iraq War is preventing America from addressing its “needs”. Everything is a need or a right to these DFLers. Obama then promised action on low wages, health care, affordable college education, and retirement security as if he’s some kind of Superman who can defy the laws of economics and make all these things magically happen.
But how much is this going to cost? How much will it cost the taxpayers? How much will it cost the economy in terms of lost economic activity and jobs? Why should a high school kid working a part-time job deserve a high wage? Why should any unskilled, uneducated Democrat-voting Neanderthal deserve a high wage?
Most Democrat voters aren’t very bright. It’s a fact. Democrat voting communities have the lowest academic achievement in the modernized world and those voters prove it every day. They aren’t going to be thinking about how their lives will be negatively impacted by the Democrats’ massive tax increases that will be required to pay for all the promises they are making. They won’t be thinking about this because they are either not smart enough to consider such things or they don’t care because they possess a “gimme gimme gimme” mentality whereby they deserve your money by virtue of their very existence.
Democrats pretend that all they will have to do is roll back the Bush tax cuts and that the additional revenue will be enough to pay for the hundreds of billions in new spending. The truth of the matter is that repealing the Bush tax cuts wouldn’t generate anywhere near enough money to cover the Democrat’s spending goals, particularly when you consider the negative economic impact tax increases have, leaving average, middle-class taxpayers and future generations on the hook for the bill.
After the Bush tax cuts federal tax revenues actually increased. Why? Because more money in the pockets of the people who earn it means more spending which means more jobs which means more earnings which are taxed.
But don’t try explaining that to a Democrat voter. Appealing to Democrats with simple logic is like trying to teach a dog how to talk; it just isn’t going to happen.
One more thing: if Democrats are so concerned about the high cost of college education, then why is it that the most liberal institutions of higher learning in this country have the highest tuition?
See how idiotic these Democrats are?
