Yesterday’s Joke Is Today’s Democrat Economic Policy

Posted on by

The last time Democrats inflicted this much damage on the economy, Jimmy Carter was bumbling around the White House and Saturday Night Live was funny:

Dan Aykroyd must have been peering into the future:

“I will present to Congress the Inflation Maintenance Program, whereby the US Treasury will make up any inflation cost losses through direct tax rebates to the public in cash.

“Now you may say, Won’t that cost a lot of money? Won’t that increase the deficit? Sure it will. But so what? We’ll just print more money.”

Unsurprisingly, California leads the way in actually implementing this policy. If you want to see what Democrats will do to us next, look to the erstwhile Golden State. To see what comes next after that, refer to Venezuela, then Zimbabwe.

A long list of other states have plans to counter inflation with tax rebates:

Even so, the rebate checks aren’t likely to cover the increased costs that most Americans are facing, since states are typically proposing checks of several hundred dollars while the average family will pay an estimated $2,000 in additional costs this year due to the higher prices of gas alone.

But inflation is insidious, so you don’t notice just how much it is costing you. In contrast, even a modest tax rebate can feel like a bonanza — especially if you are getting rebated the taxes someone else paid.

The rising cost of gasoline — a major driver of all rising costs — is mainly the result of Democrats’ ideologically inspired war on fossil fuels. The media has been gaslighting the gullible into blaming Putin, but only our real enemies inflate our currency or prevent us from drilling our own oil — namely, Democrats.

Bribing Californians With Gas Tax Money

Posted on by

Gasoline prices are through the roof, primarily due to Democrats’ ideologically driven campaign to suppress domestic energy production. The situation is even worse in California, due to the excessive taxation and regulation that inevitably result from Democrat rule. The moonbats running the erstwhile Golden State have a solution to keep the public from getting angry enough to vote them out of office:

The lawmakers, most of them Democrats, proposed pulling $9 billion from California’s $45 billion budget surplus to fund rebates that would more than cover the 51-cent-per-gallon state gas tax for one full year of weekly fill-ups for a car with a 15-gallon tank.

They confiscate an extra 51¢ per gallon, then give it back to you — for a while. That is, they want to bribe Californians to vote for them with their own money.

More accurately, they want to bribe Californians with other Californians’ money.

The surprising thing is that this rebate wouldn’t only be aimed at drivers, and you wouldn’t need to show proof of car ownership or provide gas receipts. The thinking is that all residents are experiencing a hit right now with inflation and the rising cost of living expenses.

So they throw money at everybody. Because that’s what cures inflation.

If the proposal passes, anyone who files taxes in the state would receive $400 — no matter how much you drive, no matter how much money you make and regardless of whether you have a car, the release said.

Free money! Hurray! All you have to do is vote Democrat.

California has the highest gas tax in the country. Rather than rebating it to people who don’t pay it, Republicans want to suspend the gas tax. But that wouldn’t advance equity.

The American Republic will endure until the day Congress discovers that it can bribe the public with the public's money. - Alexis de Tocqueville

Introducing White Privilege Tax

Posted on by

Governments are instituted among men, deriving their unjust powers from the support of the media, so that wealth created by groups liberals don’t like can be confiscated through taxation and inflation to be bestowed upon groups liberals do like in the form of welfare programs and straightforward race-based handouts. Why not make the main function of the federal government official with a white privilege tax? The people would support it — if by “the people” you mean morons shambling around near the beach in San Diego:
