David Drucker: “The pendulum of political power, which historically swings against the White House during the midterms, could be especially savage this year, given the sharp dissatisfaction with Trump in America’s usually Republican-leaning suburbs. Washington’s high-powered consulting class is betting on it. The lobby shops and advocacy organizations that play both sides and thrive on proximity to power are preparing for a changing of the gavel and moving to forge connections with Democratic committee chairmen in the House beginning in January of 2019, when the 116th Congress is seated.” Said one GOP lobbyist: “Downtown, there is a sense that the House is already lost for Republicans. There is a hiring spree for plugged-in House Democrats who want to lobby. So, downtown is already planning on the Democratic takeover; the bets are on how big the flip will be.”
At least the two party in the US will survive: Democrat and Socialist. Maybe I could blend in by wearing Antifa attire. Although if they made me prove my loyalty by smoking a joint, I could be in trouble.
Or you could move to Alabama and marry your sister like a good capitalist conservative. Keeping the gains in the family and all.
The problem with Alabama girls is by the time they hit ten, most of their teeth are gone and they usually need vaginal rejuvenation. Seriously, the problem with the non-capitalistic systems is one rarely has upward mobility. The socio-economic class someone was born in is the one they are likely to die in. At least in the US, and one of the reasons it is highly sought after destination for emigrants all over the world is the opportunity one can gain through hard work. Parents have the true ability to improve their children's future here. It is too bad the Left was able to get laws passed for the purpose of subsidizing foreigners from former Soviet Bloc countries, among others, to come to the US. Free education and healthcare or welfare and food stamps are available to these people, but not natively born Americans. What do you think the objective was for the Left to create these kind of laws for immigrants coming to the US?
Democrats wants more slaves in their plantation to blindly vote them into power. Of course, with power, they become rich beyond their dreams! Look at Socialist Bernie Sanders railing about inequalities and why capitalism is bad yet, now owns 3 houses, drives a very nice sports car (a video taken of him at the wheels) and how much has his net worth increased? Kim Jong Un and his beautiful wife is among the richest leaders of the world. His wife dresses in expensive designer clothes, shoes and bags. How are the masses doing in North Korea? Starving and having to forage for food! The same with Venezuela. Maduro and top officials are filthy rich and well fed. Masses are starving and eating whatever they can to survive! And we want the US to be turned into a socialist/communist shithole so that, a handful of extreme liberal Democrats can remain in power? No thanks. Our children and grandchildren deserve a better future, not a miserable future under control of socialists and communists! Vote for conservative Republicans and support President Donald Trump's MAGA in the coming midterm elections! It is the most important election you would vote in, in our lifetime!
This may be a throwback to American thinking in the 1950's -1970's . After Reagan's "Trickle Down," i.e. supply-side economics, became the darling economic theory of the GOP and has hung on ever since , things changed rather dramatically. see: Haskins and Sawhill, "Creating an Opportunity Society, Washington, DC: Brookings Institution Press, 2009. FROM THE HASKINS AND SAWHILL STUDY: Forty two percent of American Men with fathers in the bottom fifth of income distribution remain there as compared to : Denmark, 25%; Sweden, 26%; Finland, 28%; Norway, 28%; United Kingdom, 30%. Even in the Scandinavian countries starting out poor is a disadvantage. In the U.S. however, starting out poor nearly doubles the risk of ending up poor. According the John Quiggin, the Australian Economist (google him) "Other studies, using different different measures of mobility, have reached the same conclusion.' It is always good to keep abreast of the latest data because things do change with the adoption of new economic paradigms, as it did in the 1980s in the U.S. This data is a main reason why I am so opposed to supply-side economics. It's results after nearly 40 years of fairly consistent application have been decidedly bad for the bulk of American citizens, although decidedly good for 10% of us. I count my blessings to be one of the lucky ones in the 10% group. . .
