A blast from the past.

This is a good time to talk about the mid-term elections now that Musk’s DOGE is established and has made corrections and is prepared for the start-up of AI in the government. The Democrats do not like DOGE because it keeps them honest.

All voters have to understand that the Democrats had 12 years to put us in this bad way and now President Trump’s first hundred days to try to put us back on the right track with tariffs which takes time to work. Now the Democrats tell us they will try to win in the next mid-terms to return us to the old ways of corruption and demolish DOGE.

Voters have to remember what Biden/Democrats did by stealing/hiding our taxpayer funds and, if you want to go back to their ways, it would ruin our country, again. We must remember what the Democrats did to this country and vote to keep us on the present track. It takes time and pain to correct Biden/Democrats’ corruption.

The following only proves that the left loves to keep trying to make people feel they are less than they are. Bernie Sanders will never understand that in the U.S. everyone has a chance to succeed; but, only if THEY are willing to put out the hard work to make it happen.

God doesn’t give you a rose garden; but, he gives you the tools to make your own rose garden.

Following is the way our system works. It is not easy; but, anyone can make it work if you try hard enough and it takes time and patience.

Senator Bernie Sanders, of course, claims the booming economy is only helping the top 1% and is the mantra of the left, always – to keep the Democrats in their place of anger.

That is absurd, and simply false, as I have pointed out several times in the Rant. In fact, the country has never been doing as well as it is now, and the lower income cohorts have never done anywhere near as well.

Just look anywhere in nature on the planet. There are bosses and dominant leaders, and others are left behind the herd. Whether it is lions, elephants, buffalo, or monkeys or humans, there is a dominant, smarter, more aggressive leader, and there are weak ones who are killed off, or left behind. That is how nature works.

Survival of the fittest. The basic rule of nature. It is no different for the workforce. Some people are smart and aggressive, and get wealthy, and some are born dumb or lazy and fall behind. Some can jump and dunk the ball, and some can’t even reach the basket. It does not mean we should buy a ladder for everyone so they can also dunk the ball. When they get off the ladder they still can’t sink the shot.

The last three years has done more to raise people out of poverty, and to get them employed, than at any time in history. Raising taxes and giving supposedly free everything just destroys economies. The left just ignores history. Some people will always struggle.

If we look at tax burdens, the US has the most fair and progressive tax schedule of any country. It is true that some, like Gates and Buffet, pay very low taxes, but that is due to their massive charitable donations. If they were to add donations to taxes, the wealthy would be paying vastly more than their fair share toward the greater good of the community of man.

In fact, in many cases, the combined annual cash outflow is greater than the annual taxable income for some, as they are giving away wealth created over many years. As I have advocated, it is a far more efficient use of capital to let the rich donate and direct the use of the funds, than to divert that same capital to taxes to be wasted by Congress.

The top 10% in the US pays 45% of all taxes vs 28% in France and only 27% in Sweden-two high tax countries. The top 1% in the US pays 219 times as much in total taxes as the bottom 20%. The top .1% pays 482 times as much in total taxes as the bottom 20%. And none of those numbers includes charitable contributions.

The Dem debates have sunk to a new low of eight year olds yelling at each other in the school yard to get in the last word. They looked ridiculous. Looks like a brat waving her hands to get called on. Bloomberg looked better but not good. The attacks on Bernie were not effective because the others are also pushing some of the same policies, and even Bloomberg seemed not able to pull together an effective blast to blow apart socialism and government run insurance.

Trump will tear him apart. Bernie loves to talk about only billionaires are doing well but Trump can site facts that put that as a lie. Voters know they have solid jobs, lower taxes and no inflation with rising wages, despite what Bernie says.

An independent analysis of Bernie’s plans shows the US economy would collapse and the people he thinks he will help would be vastly worse off and unemployed. It is a fact over history that when governments run an industry or anything, and profit is not the motivator, then costs and inefficiency climb precipitously.

Just look at the Soviet system before it collapsed or state owned companies in China today. Or state run oil companies in Mexico, Venezuela and Brazil where corruption is rampant and production fell apart. Bernie’s backers just do not want to look at facts. And economic history.

May God Bless President Trump and keep us moving forward. Many thanks to Mr. Musk for bringing DOGE to the surface.
