As I watched the Democrat candidates march out on the debate stage, I was shocked. Democrats have been merciless in vilifying the Republican Party as that of old white rich people. And what does the Democratic Party proudly trot out? Yep, old white rich people. Hypocrites! And their strategy? Promise as much "free" stuff as possible in the hope that the freebies will translate into votes.
Wealth redistribution from the working class and rich job creators to those that prefer welfare over work is a tenet of socialism. You can't take away the incentive to work and accomplish things by penalizing success and rewarding failure. It creates a dependency mentality of …"why work, the government will give it to me free." The Democrats have doubled our national debt while perpetrating mass welfare and class warfare policies.
Republicans are more than willing to help the truly needy, but conservatives understand the need to cut government waste, fraud and spending to grow the economy. Of the two Democratic front-runners, socialist Bernie Sanders is all about redistributing the wealth and buying votes with "free" stuff, while scandal plagued Hillary will do or say anything to win. What a choice!
