When trying to decide who it is, exactly, that’s the
biggest empty-headed twit within the Democrat Party it has become increasingly
more difficult, of late, to identify just who that might be. But two of the leading contenders now vying for
the honor would have to be that dimwit from California, Adam Schiff, in the
House, who apparently thinks a Russian was hiding behind every voting booth and
forcing folks to vote for Trump, and his intellectual equal over in the Senate,
Chris Van Hollen from Maryland.
On Thursday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” it
was this boob Van Hollen who actually tried to make the argument that companies
announcing they’ll give out bonuses, hire more folks, and invest more after the
passage of the Republican tax bill, are doing so as, now get this, “a PR
stunt.” A PR stunt? Just how much of a rabid ideologue, and
leftwing kook, must one be in order to come to such a blatantly political conclusion
as that? Van Hollen said, “I think they
are doing it as a PR stunt.”
And he went on to say, “These are some one-time
bonuses, sounds very nice, but that was not what was promised. What was promised
was a $4,000-a-year pay increase into the base. And that is why you see union
members going to these corporations and saying, ‘Look, thanks for the one-time
bonus, but that is not what was promised as part of this tax cut.’ So, at the
same time, you see those one-time bonuses, in the last couple weeks, you’ve
seen reported $87 billion in stock buybacks.”
And then this hapless boob added, “So, that’s money
going to the shareholders. And I want to remind people that 35% of those
stockholders are foreign stockholders. And so, in the year 2019, $48 billion is
going to go into the pockets of foreign stockholders, coming out of the pockets
of millions of middle class taxpayers.” I
think what really has this guy’s panties in a wad is the fact the Democrats have
been proven to be frauds when it comes to their claim of caring for working
class Americans.
Because let’s face it, Barry and Hitlery surrounded
themselves with so many corporate donors that it was difficult at times to
determine who was actually running things. If anything, Barry was giving tax
breaks to himself and to his inner circle. And don't even get me started on that 2% annual
GDP growth under Barry. Moreover, any
tax cuts made under Barry were completely wasted by the ridiculous premiums
that he was requiring everyone to pay for under his health insurance scam.
And since President Trump’s arrival on the scene we
have had 3% annual GDP growth for three consecutive quarters, we now have more
Americans in the workforce than ever before and the stock market gained 5000
points in a single year for the first time in history. Also, we heard earlier this week how several
large corporations have announced expansion plans here at home and are also now
giving out bonuses to their employees all thanks to the recently passed
Republican tax plan.
And a $220 Million dollar PR stunt going into the
pockets of their employees is one Hell of a good publicity stunt that I’m sure
their employees will appreciate. What
this classless moron seems not want to talk about is the reinvestment in
facilities that companies are discussing and the wage increases they are
promising. Also if a company buys back
its stock from foreign investors, what it means is that more future dividends
will tend to go to stockholders who are Americans rather than overseas.
Anyway, what Van Hollen insists upon spreading here is
nothing more than your typical Democrat talking points the purpose of which is to
exaggerate any negatives while ignoring completely all of the positives. And it's a lack of business acumen possessed
by those on the left, and their willingness to lie about almost anything, that
inhibits their understanding. I mean
what we have here is a cadre of career politicians pretending to know all that
is required to run a successful business.
And what he fails to note, or chooses to ignore, is
that Americans own a full 75% of all the stock listed on ALL stock exchanges
throughout the world. A huge amount of stock is owned by pension funds and they
prosper when the stock market goes up--which it does when companies get to keep
more of the money they’ve earned. And that helps all those millions of ordinary
boomers who are getting ready to retire.
So either he’s lying, or he needs to go back to school and take a course
in basic economics.
And what’s really sad here is that for decades the
Democrats have claimed to be the defender of working class Americans and yet
it’s Democrats, like this jerk Van Hollen, who absolutely cannot stand the fact
that the American worker is finally going to have a little more cash in his/her
pocket next year and beyond. And it’s
not because of anything the Democrats did, but what they actually tried very
hard to keep from happening. And whether
they pay a price for that is yet to be determined.
