“The Pillage People” (note – all Democrat Prez Wannabees)

So, who would they be pillaging if any of them become President?

You.

For all of the “free stuff” they are stumping to give to you as if they were Santa Claus, unicorns, and made up of pixie dust themselves, they don’t have a bank account large enough to fulfill their campaign promises.

But you do.  After all, the Pillage People keep saying that “How can we NOT do <x,y,z…> – we’re the richest nation in the world!”.

No, we are not the richest nation in the world.  Just for starters, a $23 Trillion national debt say otherwise (and when you bundle in all of the future promised entitlements, that number is north of $100 Trillion).

But the reality is that it isn’t the US that is the richest, but that our citizens are among the richest in the world.  It is we citizens that hold that wealth – and that isn’t a “national wealth” that politicians can blithely take from some to give to others.  Except, we do – and we don’t stop them.

I find it a slap in the face when pols, especially Bernie “I may be a millionaire but I’m not a billionaire” Sanders and Elizabeth “I’ve got a plan for EVERYTHING – and I’ll take your money to fund MY problems” Warren keep insisting that our money is their money.
