Consider Lewis' statement in context of the liberal majority's overall agenda. Their agenda and accompanying rhetoric include nothing about increasing economic freedom and protecting the homeland from Islamic terrorists. Instead, they want to manipulate the tax code to shake down law-abiding Americans for every last penny. They want U.S. troops to fail in their missions across the globe. That's all.
Have you heard one mention of restructuring or reforming Social Security and Medicare or ensuring the continued economic prosperity the majority of Americans currently enjoy? You have not and you will not. The liberal mission is just the opposite, as judged by their words and their votes. It is not an exaggeration to argue that they only want to raise taxes, lose the war and distract the White House with never ending investigations.
If all the liberals wanted from us was more taxpayer money to spend on pork projects and entitlement programs, history shows that the best way to raise federal revenue is to cut or eliminate the taxes we pay. Surely there are some smart liberals in Congress who know that federal coffers swell when tax rates are lowered. But the liberals are not interested in just taking our money.
They want to mug us first and then break our kneecaps for good measure. The problem is that these pirates of Pennsylvania Avenue want both our money and our economic freedom. Their political ideology cannot survive in power for the long term if the American people have resources to challenge their tyrannical grip on our lives.
Some of us devote a lot of time pointing out the lies and deception, and explaining the foolishness of liberal policies. But too many people don't get it or even want to get it, and that's just fine with the leaders of liberal destruction.
That way, there are more April fools all year long. |
