How to Destroy Civilization by Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez | Armstrong Economics

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez push for higher taxes to fund her Green New-Deal is just the tip of the iceberg. If the people who elected her really understood what she is calling for, just maybe they would come to their senses and throw her out in 2020. Her New Deal calls for the end of milk cows, no more airplanes, we all drive electric cars, and anyone not willing to work will get guaranteed income for staying home and watching TV. She is clueless to even understand the implications of what she is even talking about. The end of air travel will send the world back to the stone age. She will then realize that ships produce more CO2 than cars show she will ban those as well and the only ships will be by sail. When there is no wind, then perhaps they can use criminals to row the boats as did the Romans (see Ben Hur). Interestingly, it would stop people flying to the States to go to University. That would end the Dreamer problem. It would end the possibility of nuclear war for you could not have rockets and space travel while we are at it. CO2 probably destroys the universe by firing rockets in space. But there is no oxygen in Space. That’s the answer. Eliminate the oxygen on the planet, we eliminate all humans, and they will eliminate CO2 which plant life needs and we have the perfect world like the moon. Trump Tweeted something that was actually correct and you really have to wonder how crazy the Democrats will really be in 2020:

The socialists are pulling the Democrats so far to the left that they will continue on as the minority party. Most Americans will never accept socialism. The leftists/globalists are trying to force it on us with open borders and free stuff for everyone from the government. JohnBarleycorn

Why the Left Isn’t Convinced by Your Economics Arguments | Mises Wire

Among advocates for free-market activists, I’m often told that the unconverted will embrace free-markets if only we explain to them “good economics.”

Too many on the left lack critical thinking skills and do not understand markets or wealth creation. This leads to a cognitive dissonance in regard to understanding economics. JohnBarleycorn

Is the Democratic Socialist Party Going After Corporations? | Armstrong Economics

Corporate America will suddenly discover that the Democrats are moving substantially to the left and will do whatever they can to further that goal. The Democrats are becoming the new party of anti-corporation/business. They embrace the misguided ideas of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez who has been joined by Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren. This new agenda is being endorsed by Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer. Schumer would like to outlaw corporations from buying back their own shares unless they pay workers at least $15 an hour, offer paid time off, and health benefits. They try to force the minimum wage higher and act as if companies are the sole source of the problem. Why not eliminate taxation, both state and federal, for people under $15 an hour. Governments never take into account the cost of government itself. You have riots in France when government taxation consumes 46% of total GDP. Schumer has come out and said this is all Trump’s fault because he lowered taxes. So in other words, if Trump never lowered taxes to get companies to bring back money from overseas, then there would not be buybacks. The money would remain overseas instead of being reinvested in America. They buy their own stocks back and the shareholders then reinvest in other companies. They act as if the money vaporizes. They blame Trump for everything as if buybacks just appeared when Trump took office. So where are the fact checkers on this one? Oh, they only fact check Trump. Sorry. Didn’t understand the one-sided new free press rule that allows them to freely report only what they want to.

They will go after the corporations that they don’t like. The big pharma, tech, and media giants will get a pass. JohnBarleycorn

Well since all of the white men are so bad, these leftists ought to stop using Apple, Microsoft, Google, all cars and trucks, electricity, light bulbs, modern medicine………. all of these inventions and sciences were advanced by predominantly white males.

Any other nation of color had the opportunity to rise to the prominence of America but it didn’t happen and still hasn’t. Not sure what that means or says but you can guess as good as I can.

Blaming others and creating hatred and division always ends badly. Come up with better ideas that benefit everyone. A new way of thinking that benefits all. If you have to make someone else look bad to make you look good, perhaps you are the bad person. Racism cuts both ways like a double edged sword.

It is time to stop enabling these race baiters and resentment peddlers, especially the ones in the ruling class living well from our tax dollars. I bet they won’t give back the tax dollars which come from the pockets of working white men.

We should all be Americans first and not let politicians divide us into little tribes of resentment and victimology. They are the true enemies of the American dream. JohnBarleycorn

Why You Can’t Argue with a Leftist | PragerU

When two people share the same goals, they can disagree – even strongly disagree – and still have a productive discussion about how to reach those shared objectives. As comedian and author Owen Benjamin explains, the problem with America today is we no longer share the same goals, and that’s tearing us apart.

Sadly, this seems the new way of discourse. JohnBarleycorn
