At The American Thinker, Carol Greenwald explains to voters that “Unless you want to see the US economy and your standard of life destroyed, there is no alternative to voting for President Trump.” The radical platform of the Democratic primary candidates includes, as Greenwald notes:
- The Green New Deal
- More regulations
- Taxpayer subsidized healthcare for all
- Free college
- Crippling new taxes
Add to that open borders plans that will allow virtually anyone into the country, and Democrats are offering voters a plan that puts everyone but Americans first. Greenwald writes (abridged):
The Green New Deal, renewed regulations, Medicare for All, free college, as well as the 70-90% tax rates proposed by Democrats, will tank the stock market and US economic growth, leading to higher unemployment and reduced wage gains. All these programs require higher taxes and not just the soak the rich fantasy of the 70-90% rates. Most of the Democratic candidates have pledged to roll back the 2017 Republican tax cuts that fueled the renewal of economic growth in the US.
Open borders will flood the US with poverty-stricken immigrants and their competition for jobs will depress wages. The social welfare needs of the immigrants will skyrocket government expenditures. So, while taxes receipts are falling due to slower economic growth rates, expenditures will be rising, leading to increased government debt and consequently higher interest rates. If the Federal Reserve tries to keep interest rates low to prevent a deepening recession, then the increase in the money supply and the expanding deficit will eventually destroy the value of the dollar.
Virtually all of the Democratic candidates have advocated for opening the border to all who want to come. All the Democratic candidates on the second night of the debate supported free health benefits for illegal immigrants and several have advocated for free college for all.
The race for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination is quickly becoming a contest to determine which candidate wants to tax the rich the most. Democratic candidates have been attracted to Congresswoman Ocasio-Cortez’s proposal to tax incomes over $10 million at a 70% rate. Not to be outdone, Ilhan Omar has proposed a 90% top rate.
Trump is the only choice
Whatever you think of President Trump, you know by his record that he will put America first and that his policies have created a robust economy. Unless you want to see the US economy and your standard of life destroyed, there is no alternative to voting for President Trump.
