Americans Are Not Delighted To Pay For Democratic Socialist Proposals https://thehill.com/sites/default/files/styles/thumb_small_article/public/sandersbernie_061219gn20_lead.jpg Senator Bernie Sanders is clearly delusional. Americans are not “delighted” at the notion of paying higher taxes in order to fund his radical proposals for health care and education. In fact, after years of suffering under President Obama, Americans are “delighted” to finally have a leader who has limited the role of the federal government in our daily lives, putting a significant chunk of our tax dollars back in our pockets. When President Trump won the 2016 election, he promised to restore national prosperity by cutting our taxes, eliminating hundreds of job killing regulations, and implementing a common sense trade policy that protects our workers and promotes their interests. Thankfully, after just over two years in office, Trump has fulfilled his promises, as millions of citizens and their families around the country are better off today than they were when he took office. According to the latest jobs report, the unemployment rate is at a record low in 50 years at 3.6 percent, while wages are continuing to rise for average workers. Americans also saved an average of $1,400 on their federal taxes last year thanks to the tax law signed by Trump. Remarkably, these basic economic realities have not stopped Democrats from touting extremist proposals that would fundamentally derail our current economic renaissance and transform the United States into an unrecognizable totalitarian dystopia focused on expanding the role of government in our lives with no end. Indeed, the socialist senator from Vermont has been desperate to make his ideas more appealing to the voters, arguing that the White House policies have helped only the wealthy. This case has been consistently debunked by every jobs report for more than two years. Sanders is so desperate to sell Americans on his socialist dream that he is accusing Trump of practicing “corporate socialism.” Given that Trump has implemented a campaign of tactical tariffs designed to protect our workers, which is a strategy that many establishment Republicans despise, this is demonstrably a false lie. As if the delusions of an out of touch socialist are not enough, other Democrats have also voiced support for radical political proposals that would bankrupt our country. The Green New Deal, for example, would cost taxpayers a whopping $93 trillion, or approximately $700,000 per household. Likewise, top Democratic presidential candidates, including former Vice President Joe Biden, have already pledged to repeal the Republican tax cuts if elected in 2020. Americans are not “delighted” to pay higher taxes. They do not want to be funding radical projects that will shackle their children with unimaginable debt. They do not share a marxist obsession with a centralized utopia. In 2016, we voted for Donald Trump because he promised to build a future of economic prosperity by cutting our taxes and shrinking the reach of the federal government. Today, Democrats are doing everything in their power to accomplish the opposite. Madison Gesiotto is an attorney and a commentator who serves with the advisory board of the Donald Trump campaign.
