CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY APRIL 2, 2021
WE’VE COME A LONG WAY FROM THE RONALD REAGAN ERA. REAGAN SAID GOVERNMENT ISN’T THE SOLUTION; GOVERNMENT IS THE PROBLEM AND THE WORST THING YOU CAN HEAR IS “I’M FROM THE GOVERNMENT AND I’M HERE TO HELP YOU.
40 YEARS LATER PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN BELIEVES THE GOVERNMENT IS ALL THAT CAN HELP YOU, EVEN IF YOU DON’T NEED HELP. THOSE WHO DON’T WILL BE TAXES…HEAVILY.
NOW LET’S SAY YOU WORK FOR A CORPORATION AND YOUR BOSS CALLS YOU IN AND SAYS THE FOLLOWING: “YOU HAVE BEEN A GOOD EMPLOYEE, BUT THE PURPOSE OF CORPORATIONS IS TO MAKE PRODUCTS OR DELIVER SERVICES THAT MAKE A PROFIT. WHEN WE MAKE A PROFIT, OUR STOCKHOLDERS ARE HAPPY AND WE EMPLOY PEOPLE. NOW THAT PRESIDENT BIDEN WANTS TO RAISE THE CORPORATE TAX RATE BY SEVEN POINTS, WE HAVE TO LAY YOU OFF. I’M SORRY.” I WONDER IF THAT PERSON VOTED FOR DEMOCRATS IN THE LAST ELECTION?
THIS IS WHAT IS LIKELY TO HAPPEN IF BIDEN’S TAX AND SPENDING IS ALLOWED TO OCCUR AND WITH A DEMOCRAT MAJORITY IN CONGRESS IT IS LIKELY TO HAPPEN. OBAMA CALLED IT SPREADING THE WEALTH AROUND, WHICH IS INCOME REDISTRIBUTION, WHICH IS SOCIALISM. I’M CAL THOMAS.
