Scapegoats for Harmful Democrat Policies

Democrat policies and actions are so harmful to most people, especially poor people, that Democrats need scapegoats to divert attention away from the harm their policies do.  The rich, especially the 1%, are favorite Democrat scapegoats.

According to Democrats, not only are the “rich” to blame but they’re (supposedly) bad people who don’t pay their “fair share”.

President Obama claimed he would solve everyone’s problems and make the rich pay their “fair share”.  But President Obama didn’t solve people’s problems; his policies made most people, except the rich, poorer. 

Actually Democrats love the rich and won’t do anything to alienate the rich donors who attend their $40,000-a-plate fund-raisers, maximize their campaign contributions, and donate millions to Democrat PACs.

Except for problems caused by people’s own decisions, Democrat politicians, not the rich, are responsible for most people’s problems.  E.g., Democrat politicians are to blame for poor public schools, dangerous neighborhoods, trapping people in poverty, breaking apart families, high taxes, high health care costs, and low incomes.

Most rich people only benefit, not harm, the rest of us.  They prosper by providing products and services that people want more than their money.

Would anyone give up their computers, cell phones, cars, life-enriching and extending health care, etc., to keep their creators/providers from getting rich?  We want more things that enrich and extend our lives; that requires encouraging, with profits, people to risk the money and effort to try to develop those things.

Rich people pay most of the taxes and they employ millions of people.  They help us afford new technology by buying new high-priced technology, determining demand, and stimulating the competition and production that drives down prices.  Rich peoples’ donations fund things that benefit us every day: libraries, hospitals, colleges, parks, medical research facilities, scholarships, museums, the arts, many charities, etc.

Democrats won’t define “fair share” because they need to always have a scapegoat.   The top 1% paid 45.7%  and the top 20% paid 84% of the federal personal taxes collected in 2014; it’s hard to understand how that is not paying their “fair share.”

A person, who earns his/her money honestly and follows our laws, isn’t greedy or immoral just because he/she has a lot of money.

What is immoral is Democrat politicians lying to voters and blaming scapegoats for Democrat policies that keep people poor, break-up families, and force children into dangerous failing schools.  What is greedy is using politicians’ positions of public trust to reward (bribe/payoff) special interest supporters to satisfy the politicians’ greed for power, privilege, prestige, and wealth.
