Sharing the candy

"If this analogy was bit too corny for some, let me put it in the common man's, and adult type of vernacular. Inefficient and over taxation is nothing more than THEFT by the state. Efficient and frugal taxation is necessary to maintain the state."   

There is an old political joke about Halloween. It is a day to teach your kids about what Democrats do. When they come home from trick or treating, spread their candy out on a table. Then take 10%, and tell the kid this is for Johnny next door who does not like to go out trick or treating. Then take 30% for mom and dad. This is your rent for living here. Then take another 10% and put it in the cupboard. This is for later on when the rest of the candy is gone. For the remaining 50%, the kid may do with as he or she wishes.

In reality most kids would balk at such nonsense. It is their candy, they "earned it" by going door to door, so please just leave me alone! Now back to adulthood. Is that not what most elections are about? Sharing "the candy"? When I have heard about some of the spending plans the Democrats want to initiate should they grab the reigns of power, I shudder. Single Payer (aka "Medicare for All"), is a bank breaker. So where is the candy (money) coming from to pay for this?

First off - NOT the lower 50% of the income earners. They have been given a permanent pass years ago by the Democrats. They are just "free riders" on the system. So that just leaves the rest of us to figure out how to pay for this mess which most people don't want. Why do I say what "most people don't want"? This is really not "Medicare for all" - in reality it is the "VA for all".

This will be the final chapter in the Obama "Book or Lies". This chapter is called, "If you like your doctor, you can't keep your doctor. You will get, what you get". Actually, there is still something behind this final one. It is the epilogue. The title of which is being kept closely under wraps by the Blue Elite. Why? It will scare the pants of off most. It will cover the rationing of care to the eldest and sickest.

Anyhow, to pay for this, along with the numerous new LRT's which the Democrats want to build, the costs will bust the bank. There is not enough candy in the world to pay for all of this. So we will borrow (again), and let our kids and grandies worry about it. Rather than try and unhook us from the quicksand of ObamaCare, we are going to double down and take it to the next level. We will now have Euro style heath care, with all the sky high costs and inadequate care which go with it. 

Someone asked me awhile back, what the biggest difference was between the two parties. As tempted as I was to say, "these days, not much", I answered from a classical viewpoint. I said the Democrats believe all money belongs to the state (the commonwealth), and the state may take as much as need be. Republicans on the other hand, believe our money is our money. And money WE decide to give to the state, is not unlimited, and should be used in the most efficient manner. And that is where the battle remains today.

Next Wednesday, we will know how much of our candy will be allowed to keep. Should Tim Walz win the day, and bring the House with him, the answer will be "not much". We will all be in deep do-do. If however, you believe any money you have earned is yours, and our government will be frugal and efficient in how much they need, vote for Jeff Johnson. Plus - keep the House and Senate (with that one contested seat) - Red.

If this analogy was bit too corny for some, let me put it in the common man's, and adult type of vernacular. Inefficient and over taxation is nothing more than THEFT by the state. Efficient and frugal taxation is necessary to maintain the state.
