I have been monitoring the blog articles posted by this Far Left Democrat for three years. He was in Clinton’s cabinet and wanted to confiscate ALL funds in Americans’ 401k and IRA Accounts because he said the federal government needed it more than hard-working, law-abiding Americans. He also suffers from stage four Trump Derangement Syndrome. During the Biden Regime he showed NO INTEREST in the raging inflation, over 20%, created by the regime’s massive spending on worthless programs. Hoping to help the Democratic Socialists of America candidates get elected, he recently issued the following advice to them. Check the official DSA platform linked below.
NOTE: Most of his 10 promises will never be accomplished. BUT, if they are, the economy will tank AND ever more fraudsters will be sucking the money out of the programs and away from those who truly need it.
“Pledge to Make America Affordable Again
1. We’ll eliminate Trump’s across-the-board tariffs. They’re import taxes that are raising the prices of just about everything American consumers buy. We’ll eliminate them where their costs to consumers are far higher than any potential benefits in the form of new jobs.
2. We’ll get energy prices down by ending Trump’s war in Iran and shifting to renewable sources of energy.
Trump’s war has increased gas prices by $1 a gallon over most of the country. It’s accomplished nothing but give Iran bargaining leverage to close the strait — which was open before the war. We’ll bring down energy prices by ending the war and then reduce energy prices by shifting to renewable sources that are cheaper than fossil fuels — such as solar, wind, and biomass.
3. We’ll bust up monopolies. Another major source of high prices is monopolies — especially in high tech, health care, food, and finance. We’ll vigorously enforce antitrust (anti-monopoly) laws so that corporations don’t have the power to raise prices. We’ll bust up giant corporations. We’ll bar large firms from merging or acquiring other firms.
4. We’ll fight for stronger unions. Workers need more bargaining power to get higher wages. Part of the answer is stronger unions. Democrats will make it easier for them to start or join them.
5. We’ll raise the national minimum wage to $20 an hour. No one who works full-time should be in poverty. And we’ll raise it even higher for employees of big corporations that pay their top executives more than 200 times the typical worker.
6. We’ll make housing more affordable. We’ll stop private equity firms from buying up large tracts of housing and colluding on prices. We’ll get rid of zoning laws that keep housing prices high. And we’ll raise taxes on big corporations that drive up housing prices where they’re headquartered or have major facilities, and use the funds for more affordable housing there.
7. We’ll cut health care costs by making Medicare available to everyone. Giving everyone the option of buying into Medicare would bring health care costs down because it’s cheaper and more efficient than private for-profit health insurance.
8. We’ll get working families help with child care and elder care. Both are essential for working families who must now pay out large portions of their incomes to provide care for family members.
9. We’ll give working families paid family leave. Twelve weeks of unpaid leave has proven useful but not adequate. Every other advanced country provides paid leave; the richest country in the world should too.
10. We’ll raise taxes on the wealthiest to pay for this. Since Reagan, the rich have paid far lower taxes while accumulating a near-record portion of total income and wealth. It’s only fair that they pay more so that the rest of America can afford what Americans need. We’ll raise the top marginal tax rate to 70 percent — what it was before Reagan. We’ll also impose a 0.5 percent tax on wealth in excess of $100 million. We’ll also eliminate the cap on income subject to Social Security taxes, require that the ultra-rich pay annual capital gains taxes on unrealized income, and eliminate the stepped-up basis at death.
These 10 steps are crucial for making America affordable again.”
NOTE: Ask any economist, raising taxes on “the rich” pursuant to Item #10, will not pay for the socialist programs listed in Items #5 through #9. These are merely useless promises which Useful Idiots will believe. The writer is an Enemy of the People, who hopes to weaken America for the Globalist take over.
