The Democrats' Scam Platform I think my friend is totally awake now! He gets it.  https://www.reddit.com/r/freeworldnews/comments/b2sxhq/the_democrats_scam_platform/ The Democrats’ Scam Platformapproved by BudRock56 at Tue Mar 19 04:33:58 2019 UTC (self.freeworldnews) submitted an hour ago * by BudRock56 Democrat candidates for president are proposing all sorts of things that in the past were never seriously considered, to sit: free college and student loan forgiveness; slave reparations; Medicare for all; the Green New Deal; abolishing the electoral college; legalized third trimester abortions; packing the courts; and a whole myriad of stringent gun control measures. The problem is that most, if not all, of these extreme leftist propositions will never become law and policy. Even if some did, those would necessarily have to watered down. Clearly, these nitwits are gearing up for the primary season. They are trying to gin up interest in order to raise campaign funds. Whomever gets the nomination will, of course, have to moderate their platform in anticipation of the general election. However, this election is different in that virtually all candidates are pushing the party to the far left, farther than it has ever been. Some of their asinine proposals would require either (1) a constitutional amendment, or (2) a lawless nullification of certain parts of the constitution. Neither of these possibilities are probable. Other propositions are simply not economically feasible. With tuition-free college, student loan forgiveness, Medicare expansion, and the Green New Deal, there is simply no way to pay for all that without a substantial tax increase on the middle class. You could tax all millionaires at the flat rate of 100% and you would still not generate enough revenue to pay for these proposals. The REAL MONEY is generated from taxes on the middle class. People are not going to stand for that. Even if they are duped for one election cycle, they will respond harshly in the next. In short, the proposals being made by declared Democrat candidates will never be enacted. They are a sham. The candidates know this. Nonetheless, they are trying to bamboozle voters into believing they can be. They may as well be proposing to fit the earth with huge thrusters to move our planet away from the sun to stop global warming or passing a law to make cancer illegal. The fact is, there is not much in these candidates’ heads. None can manage the economy like Trump can. So they create bogus issues and supply fake solutions. That is, if you have no credibility on security and economics, then you campaign on giveaways and unicorns. Instead of exercising foresight and leadership to deal with real world problems, which includes educating voters, they choose to cater to the voters’ ignorance and prejudices. THAT is not leadership. That is cowardice and opportunism.
