This clip actually had me laughing out loud. Joe Biden has always been a drooling moron. Yet, he is confident and brash. And he talks in a folksy way that makes people think he is down to Earth and “keeps it real.” He has got the cadence and tone down pat. And he could flash a charismatic smile with a gleam in his eyes before senility turned them black and lifeless. But he was always full of shit… An empty book with a fancy cover. His stupid “little Joey getting bad news at the dinner table” stories are so contrived, I can’t believe people don’t laugh in his stupid face when he tells them. This turd of a human being would be too sleazy to even make it as a used car salesman. And now he is President. God help us.
I fully expected Joe Biden and his progressive puppet masters to kill the robust economy Donald Trump had unleashed. However, I have been shocked at the speed with which they are actually doing it. The latest jobs report is in, and it is just brutal. Economists were expecting over 1 million new jobs to be created, and the Biden economy generated barely a quarter of that number. One economist described it as “one of the most disappointing jobs reports of all time.” CNBC actually did a double take on air because the numbers were so terrible they couldn’t believe it. I’ve noted before that, to the left, anemic growth and chronic high unemployment are features of a progressive economy, not a bug. But the job-killers now in charge of DC are gonna have to tone it down a little, or risk the oblivious public finally taking notice.
Amazon’s Jeff Bezos recently came out in favor of jacking up the corporate tax rate. Some leftwing pundits are acting like this is some kind of magnanimous gesture. “See!”, they say. “Even Jeff Bezos, owner of one of the largest corporations on the planet sees the need for higher corporate taxes. Bezos understands that sacrificing a little of his own personal wealth will make the world a better place for us all! Why can’t you greedy right wingers be more like Bezos???”
Of course, anyone who pays close attention realizes that isn’t how the system works at all. Higher corporate taxes won’t hurt the huge mega-corporations like Amazon. Amazon has an army of accountants, lawyers, and lobbyists to make sure they won’t get dinged by the IRS. So who will get slammed by higher corporate taxes? Amazon’s competitors, naturally. The one’s that can’t afford to hire a full time Harvard-educated staff to work on tax avoidance. Higher corporate taxes make it extremely difficult for small to medium-sized companies to compete with well-connected crony capitalist monoliths like Amazon. Far from noble sacrifice, what Jeff Bezos is advocating for is solidification of his own monopoly. And all he will be expected to give in return is some campaign donations to the “right” candidates and to use his company to promote WOKE! causes.
America’s creep toward socialism is manifesting itself as a weird blurring of the lines between politics and business. Mega-corporations like this sleazy symbiotic relationship because it increases profits and shields them from competition. The politicians like it because it is a massive source of funding and they can use corporate America to push their agendas. Regular Americans are the one’s who get screwed. Nobody elected Jeff Bezos, Bill Gates, or Mark Zuckerberg to anything. The fact they have so much power to bend society to their whims is an extremely disturbing development.
Before Trump, America had the highest corporate tax rate of any major economy. By far. And it was a job killer. Another feature of the mega-corporations is they have global footprints. It is quite easy for them to switch operations to lower cost countries when it suits them. They still make their billions regardless. If they have to lay off American workers to do it, then so be it. Barak Obama famously mocked Trump for saying he would bring back manufacturing to the United States. To a progressive ideologue like Obama, those jobs were gone for good. And though he is too politically savvy to ever admit it out loud, Obama didn’t want those jobs back anyways. It was good for the emerging countries to have those lower-skilled jobs. And America had plenty of wealth already, anyways. Redistributive change shouldn’t stop at the border. At least according to the progressives.
“What magic wand does he have?”, Obama taunted. Turns out Trump didn’t need a magic wand. All he needed to do was remove the onerous tax rate, cut down on the mountain of unnecessary regulations, and negotiate new trade deals that let American companies compete on an even playing field. That didn’t take a genius to figure out. And Obama isn’t an idiot. Fact is, he knew how to bring manufacturing back all along. What Obama really meant was, those jobs were never coming back without sacrificing his progressive political agenda. A compromise he would never even consider making.
Now we have Obama’s dim-witted sock puppet, Joe Biden, back in the White House. And he is giving every indication that he intends to return to the failed policies of the past. Joe has already indicated he wants to jack the corporate tax rate back up, and he recently said that there was “no evidence” that high corporate taxes kill jobs. Unlike Obama, Joe Biden actually is a drooling idiot. So he may well believe what he is saying. Not that he would care if he understood the harm he was causing to working class families. With the progressive propaganda department (i.e. MSM) running cover, he knows he will never take the blame.
The Biden effect is already starting to show like in a recent decision by Ford to move operations to Mexico. Sleazy Joe, or more likely the puppet master’s pulling his strings, are working overtime to make his promise of a “long, dark winter” come true for American workers.
The Democrat Party has wanted to ditch the suburban working class for some time now. Those largely unionized working shlubs still bitterly cling to religion, the unborn, guns, manufacturing jobs, and traditional American values. In short, they are out of step with the modern Democrats in almost every way. Plus, they are disproportionately white males (ick.) Frankly, they are a total embarrassment to the party’s progressive leadership. The left is convinced that US demographics will soon change enough that they will finally be able to give those bigoted Neanderthals the middle finger they so richly deserve. In fact, the DNC thought they were already there back in 2016. A big part of the reason Trump won was Hillary effectively told those voters to kiss her ass. Then she lost Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania.
Joe Biden sending his gullible voters to the unemployment line with a stoke of his mighty pen.
So the DNC learned their lesson for 2020. Their platform and leadership is still dominated by hard-left progressive zealots. That’s certainly not changing. But the packaging and branding did. The reason the DNC was so gaga for decrepit white male sleazebag Joe Biden to run for President was they believed they could frame him as an old-school moderate Democrat that wouldn’t scare off working-class whites. In short, they believed they could pull a fast one on Midwestern working class voters.
But the Democrat platform was there for everyone to see. Their leadership is well known to all. Surely, the labor unions and their members wouldn’t fall for such an obvious bait-and-switch con job? Yep, they sure did.
Which bring us to this story about the unions blowing a gasket over Biden cancelling the Keystone XL pipeline in his first 10 minutes in office. WTF did they think was going to happen??? Did they really think the Dems would stand up for their interests (guided by white supremacy, no doubt) over the demands of their WOKE! base for environmental and racial justice??? I have absolutely ZERO sympathy for those labor unions and their newly unemployed workers. They are getting exactly what they voted for. I’m not sure if the union leadership is really surprised by this move, or if their public statements are just kabuki theater to keep the newly jobless rubes in line. If they are genuinely dumb enough to be surprised, then they deserve to be taken for a ride. Buckle up, guys. That was just the appetizer. They real shit sandwich is still coming down the pike.
Surprise, surprise. The Democrats support the “Great Reset” championed by the international left. The Euro-weenies have determined that capitalism needs to be dismantled to appease Gaia. (And shield their anemic economies from having to compete against free market countries, of course.) The plebes will just need to forget about that freedom and autonomy stuff, and learn to live like the central planners say they should. And the Biden Administration is apparently totally on board. Turns out Sleazy Joe, or at least the folks pulling the strings on his senile old carcass, wants to completely transform the American economy and the way we live our lives. That seems like a pretty big decision to make for the country. Too bad there wasn’t some kind of forum where the American people could weigh in on the matter and have their say. We could even have two people debate the merits on national television. And then the people could vote on it. But, of course, our garbage media could never allow that to happen. The voters might come to a different conclusion than the political class. So instead the American people get race-baiting clown Chris Wallace demanding Donald Trump denounce white supremacy for the gazillionth time.
