With visions of Joe Biden's $1.7 trillion omnibus dancing in my head, I have a question for my Democrat friends and people who reap the benefits of my largess: How much of my money belongs to you and why? To further the point as we continue, here are three quotes that perfectly encapsulate the reality of today's Democrat Party.
There is all the difference in the world between treating people equally and attempting to make them equal
- While the first is the condition of a free society, the second means as De Tocqueville describes it, a new form of servitude.
- A government that robs Peter to pay Paul can always depend on the support of Paul.
In an opinion piece for the Patriot Post, former television personality and political commentator John Stossel began with this quote from James Madison:
- Charity is no part of the legislative duty of the government.
- How many decades have Democrats promised to "lift people out of poverty"? Six
- President Lyndon Johnson's 1965 War on Poverty has been an abject failure for nearly 60 years
- In January 1964, Johnson declared "unconditional war on poverty in America." Since then, the taxpayers have spent $22 trillion on Johnson's war. Adjusted for inflation, that's three times the cost of all military wars since the American Revolution
Learned helplessness
- This is a state that occurs after a person has experienced a stressful situation repeatedly
- They come to believe that they are unable to control or change the situation, so they do not try - even when opportunities for change become available
- It can be seen as a form of cognitive bias
The Democratic Party’s secret secret
- The real objective of the Democrats is not to lift people out of poverty.
- Democrat elites have understood the above since at least the presidency of Franklin Roosevelt
- As a decent, moral country, the U.S. has an obligation to take care of citizens who cannot take care themselves by any other means.
