It is perplexing to me, how liberal politicians are able to continue spewing the same lies and misinformation. I know why, it is just hard to believe that so many failed policies are repeated over and over again. The pitch goes something like this: Raise taxes on wealthy(even though none can tell you what level of income, constitutes "rich"), spend ridiculous amounts of money on so called, "infrastructure", and most importantly give away as much "free" stuff as humanly possible. The "tax the rich" argument hurts small businesses, the big corporations, not so much. 99.7% of our nations employer firms are small businesses. There are many jobs to be had here. The argument from the left, is that we must help small business, but in that same breath, the mention of tax hikes totally contradict any promised help for the middle class or small business.
The left has played the "war on poverty"card to near perfection, by pushing policies that hinder economic growth, then claiming that the same policies, will help fix, what they have already destroyed. Government spending does not grow an economy, the private sector does. Government spending only creates debt, which is now at well over 18 trillion, with an unfunded liability exceeding 130 trillion. Tax cuts encourage economic growth, and at the same time, increases federal tax revenue. It has been done a few different times, and to the same result, boom to the economy, and spike in tax revenue. It was done under JFK, and again with Reagan, then repeated once more with George W. Bush. Tax cuts work, period. The left pushes more welfare, food stamps, government healthcare, etc, which only makes the overall economic situation worse. The left always promises to "fix' the perceived problems with society. However, many of the problems that exist, are present due to the expansion of the nanny state. Americans that are dependent on a check from the government, does not spark economic growth. The truth is, a population that is always waiting to be taken care of, is much easier to control in the long run.
This sabotage of the economy creates permanent issues, that the politicians have no desire to fix. The promise to fix economy, is the campaign promise that never goes stale. If the stated problems, were ever resolved, then there would be nothing left to form that class warfare, inequality, narrative that has made up so much of elections as of late. At some point, we as members of the electorate, have to become wise to this, and put a stop to it. Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice shame on me. Conservative policies work. LBJ's war on poverty has failed, by creating the will to use government programs as a hammock, rather that a safety net. These programs have their place, but they should put more emphasis on assisting recipients in the transition back to the workforce, rather than encouraging inactivity.
