Obama’s “Fundamental Transformation Of America” Is Alive And Well In The Democrat Party
S E E D E D C O N T E N T
If anyone from the left suggests that they just want to make America a better place in which to live and that they just want to fix what’s broken in our society, they’re lying.
Liberals are more concerned with taking away the tax breaks that President Trump has given them. Liberals are more concerned with forcing government medicare-for-all on us, which, after Obamacare, we know is too expensive and doesn’t provide better healthcare, and for those of us of a certain age who have been forced to accept the current iteration of Medicare, we know it‘s no good. Liberals want to provide “free” college education for everyone, even though it’s obvious that this idea, as well as being too expensive, will destroy education, because any education the government offers that’s “free” will be reduced to the lowest level of quality by the lowest level of professors.
The minimum wage is the invasion of the government into the dealings of private companies. It invades the individual agreement of an employer and the employee, and it simply increases the cost of any product made or service provided by the impacted company while eliminating low-wage starter jobs and the experience gained from entry-level jobs, which are needed by young people. Sanctuary cities will all end up like Chicago and San Francisco, with increased murder rates and increasing levels of poverty and homelessness.
There is not one idea from any Democrat that will make our border more secure, make our companies more profitable and give citizens more wealth and liberty. All of the Democrat ideas will hurt the poorest first, and the rest of us eventually. Liberals lack the ability to see what government control did to North Korea, Cuba, Nicaragua and Venezuela, and then make suggestions that will help our nation avoid these socialist traps and improve life in America.
And when a leading Democrat candidate, seeking a House seat from the state of New York, argues that Israel is an “occupier” of Palestinian territory and must be forced to leave, along with other, numerous idiotic ideas she has espoused, we know we’re dealing with fools who must be kept out of political office at all costs.
Liberals are not interested in improvement, they are interested in control. And their guiding light is not the constitution, rather it’s Saul Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals.

To "transform America", Democrats heavily rely on promoting Socialism and use financial, racial, ethnic, gender, and/or anti-police, etc., tactics to divide Americans.
We need look no further than the divisive rhetoric of the party's recent "leaders": Barack Obama, Michelle Obama, Valerie Jarrett, Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders, Nancy Pelosi, Maxine Waters, Chuck Schumer, Andrew Cuomo, Bill De Blasio, Cory Booker, and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
There you go. Perfectly well stated and right on.
"make our companies more profitable and give citizens more wealth"
I had to comment on this little tidbit, it contradicts itself in so many ways. There is no way that making Company A "More Profitable" equates in any way to individual wealth. More profitability comes from 1) Increased prices, which lowers individual wealth 2) Lessened regulations which increases pollution and corruption which increases taxes on the individual to pay for the bail outs and clean up, which lowers individual wealth 3) Decreased competition which leads to Monopolies and harder access to the market, which also leads to decreased individual wealth.
The rest about education and Medicare for all for all is conjecture and opinion not based on reality. State universities at one time were free in this country and Medicare for all would not cost anymore than what we are already spending, the cost would shift from payments to Insurance companies in the form of premiums to payments to the Gov in the form of Medicare tax. The benefit is collective bargaining for medication, standard pricing across the industry and greater insight to the medical needs of the people.
Stock?
True enough. But i don't think there is a large enough pool of people directly engaged in the stock market that see any true increase in wealth from it. It is still a very much top 10%er game. Retirement accounts aside which take 20+ years to accumulate any true wealth and only after shoving 15% or more of your earning into it every pay day.
I would argue that stock prices have always increased even when taxes were their highest, it was not until the 90's stocks, due to the Internet Boom began to provide the returns the do today. Before that it seemed companies were more about taking care of its employees, re-investing in their company, increasing quality while providing an affordable product. After the 90's investors got addicted to the extreme returns on investment and began demanding those same returns from all industries. This started the corporations down the road of existing only for Shareholders and no longer putting the customer nor its employees first.
"The funny thing is that this supposed imperative to “maximize” a company’s share price has no foundation in history or in law. Nor is there any empirical evidence that it makes the economy or the society better off."

Not all state universities/colleges were free.

True, maybe not "All" as there are always outliers in any situation, but enough were that the generalized statement of "ALL" should not lose any value.
Trying to argue the point is just splitting hairs.
From your link.
"Public colleges and universities were often free at their founding in the United States, but over time, as public support was reduced or not increased sufficiently to compensate for their growth in students and costs (faculty and staff salaries, utilities etc.), they moved first to a low tuition and eventually higher tuition policy," said Cornell University professor Ronald Gordon Ehrenberg."
And the roll backs and reversals can’t happen fast enough!
