Keep These Guys Away from Jill Biden’s Ideas and All
Pearl-clutching time. Joe Biden is a socialist.
Oh, the horror of it all.
That is not all. “They are coming for me and all my guns. Boy, are they going to be surprised!”
I am sorry to disappoint. They are not coming for you and all your guns — unless, of course, you commit crimes on federal property. Then, of course, they are coming for you with your guns.
The reason they are not coming for you and your guns is they have you just where they want you — your Daddy’s F-150, working graveyard somewhere for a pittance. Blowing what you’ve got out a tailpipe in a DJT parade with big fancy flags — which as it turns out, come in pretty handy when you go to beat up policemen.
When your boys (and girls, it turns out) were ‘taking the building’, did they spec out where that room was where they print out all those damned social security checks? That needs to be the first thing that goes — right? Oh, and don’t forget to see that big old shrine somewhere in the building to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 that brought these results:
“After-tax incomes of people in the top 1% are estimated by the Tax Policy Center to rise 2.9% in 2025 vs. a scenario of no change in the tax law. Here are the estimated increases for everyone else: the bottom fifth of households, up 0.4%; second fifth, up 0.9%; middle fifth, up 1.3%; fourth fifth, up 1.4%; and top fifth (which includes the top 1%), up 2.3%.” [October 27, 2020. Bloomberg Businessweek (a place with actual journalists)]
I hope that 0.4% is coming in ‘real handy’. So, the rich dudes got you to vote for something to benefit them a lot more than you. That’s just percentages. In school, you learn to match such things up to bigger numbers than that — bazillions in some cases. That 0.4% is based on your number, which ain’t bazillions, boy. Also, unless you want to mess with the decimal, there are only three ways to make your deal smaller and not nothing, which 0.0% would be, but lots of ways to make it bigger if they wanted to. After all, you mean so much to them…
Maybe you are enjoying that 20% tax rate on the corporation you own. No? Well, at least you are right in the mix with your man, the big dude, the rainmaker that made it all happen:
“While running for president in 2015, he [you know who] told Bloomberg he would cut taxes on the middle class but raises them on himself and other rich people: ‘That’s right. That’s right. I’m OK with it,’ he said. ‘You’ve seen my statements [except that no one in the public has], I do very well, I don’t mind paying some taxes.’ That, of course, is not the way things turned out — even setting aside the fact that Trump used accounting maneuvers to lower his own federal income taxes in 2017 to $750, according to documents obtained by the New York Times.” [Bloomberg Businessweek (a place with actual journalists)]
No, they are not coming for you and they probably enjoy your little 4-mile-per-gallon parades in honor of their brilliance and your, might we say, pliability. They fund the rich dudes and dudettes in DC [at least, they did, up to the events of the 6th and that vexing thing about voting against democracy and social inclusion] — including the Big Boy — and you deliver your ‘protest’ vote against ‘socialism’ right on time.
Do you think you invented ignorance as a ploy? At the risk of breaking your brain, look up “know nothing”. You will find the American “Know-Nothing Party” of the first half of the 19th century. Well, they were kind of like you, but they actually knew a lot — they just said they didn’t. Back in the day, high-brow politics was largely the plaything of the intellectual elite. One thing was to have universal education. We kind of got that, so you can now spell F-150.
The idee-er was that you would be taught to think. Then, you would carry forward to do just that. It didn’t work out that way. That comes to that socialist Biden and his gosh-darn wife, who wasted an otherwise potentially great life on a dissertation on that very subject. She wants you to get that community college degree and get that good pay for that good job. Fortunately, we have Wall Street Journal opinion articles available to sort all of that out. Worthless endeavor, it turns out. Socialist stuff. Pay them no mind.
This all got lost in some version of GTA. The point is, you are supposed to kiss the girl and then have a good life, not smack her in the mouth.
I am tempted to take this further, but I think I will leave it at that. There is plenty more if you want to look it up. When it comes to having a better life, there is a word for most things. You can look them up easily these days. Knowing what they mean, that is another thing. We are shy of a few. Coming up with them to replace the hot mess left over by the 20th century is one of our main jobs.
