Socialist Sanders Medicare for All

Does everyone in America have mass amnesia? In last night’s Democratic debate there was a brief exchange between Butigiege and Sanders, both of which are competing for virtually the same proposals of Medicare for all. In the exchange, Mayor Pete asked Bernie about how increasing taxes would hurt average Americans in order to pay for his Medicare for all. Bernie replied that the people would pay more taxes, but would save money because they wouldn’t have the insurance bills to pay. He was implying that the tax bill would be lower than the insurance premiums. First of all, this is the same rhetoric that President Obama tried to get us to swallow just eight years ago. 

My response to last night’s insanity proposal is the same now as it was then; What about the millions of people aged between eighteen and thirty-five that don’t have, need, or even want health insurance? What will offset their tax bill? These folks don’t pay insurance premiums to begin with, and the ones that do were paying far lower premiums before Obamacare was implemented. It’s the same old same old, Socialist model that Obama shoved down everyone’s throat. Give everyone who doesn’t work anyhow, expensive government run health insurance, while kneeling on the backs of those who work, are forced by law to pay for it, and don’t want, or need it. Of course the small minority of uninsured people who want insurance, but can’t afford it, love the idea!

Other aspects of the debate included Joe Biden counting out loud, how many ways that taxes can be raised on everything from capital gains, corporate income and higher tax brackets, all of which to be used to bring back, and expand Obamacare. Bernie Sanders also used the term “Democratic Socialist” a few times. This term originated in the nineteen thirties as a profanity by Adolf Hitler to deter the opposing Socialist Party from rejecting his Nationalist Socialist agenda. There is no such thing as Democratic Socialism! The two terms are totally contradictory in their meaning. Bernie’s other offensive remark was that we have a lot of Socialist programs now, so what’s the big deal. 

Elizabeth Warren basically was saying the same thing as Sanders, just with a little Joe Biden and bleeding heart slant on the justifications for the raising of everyone’s taxes. Klobuchar and Bloomberg, just as they were positioned physically on the stage, served as bookends or backstops for the shots being lobbed at them from the other candidates. Bloomberg taking the brunt of which, however, and rightfully so, given the baggage he carries with him.

Socialcrats Debates

Watching the Democrat debates, or rather as much as I could stand to watch, the theme is the same. The agenda for these future  ‘wannabees’ is that everyone is entitled to all sorts of free stuff, or to revisit the civil rights era in the sixties.

 What these aspiring Socialists are not telling anyone is how they intend to get us there. There is talk of taxing the rich at higher rates, and a carbon tax, and a host of other non specifics. The reality, however, is that in all of these socialist countries that the Democrats adore, and want to model our government after, there are harsh forced social economic laws designed to balance expenditures with economic viability. Not to mention how much more debt this country would acquire. We are in debt for trillions now, and we are a capitalist country. In most, if not all Socialist countries, it is mandatory that all citizens participate for a minimum of two years of military service.  All able bodied persons are required to work, by law, and for a predetermined wage by the government. Failure to comply means imprisonment for dissidents.

All companies are government owned in some form or another, and there would be no more private insurance. So these Amazons, Googles, Microsofts, and Facebooks, of this country that support these Democrat candidates had better think long and hard about their allegiances, because they are the first ones to become property of the Socialist regime. It’s no secret; everyone knows that all the free college, free health care, and “Green New Deal” types of pipe dreams are going to be real expensive.

Do they think the Socialist government is going to get the money from the poorest people in society? No! They are going to go where the richest companies are first. That means Amazon, Google, Microsoft, and Facebook arethe first companies on the chopping block. For some of the best and brightest, I have never seen such a bunch of dummies, supporting the very party that will lead to their ultimate demise. If these guys think that they are going to get special treatment for their allegiance, they have another thing coming; these candidates are eating their own now, like rabid wolves. Bernie and Liz are already salivating at the thought of getting Google and Amazon’s money to give to illegal immigrants to secure their reelection.
