The Democrats have rolled out their new tax plan and it follows the same pattern they have been pursuing in recent years. They talk about how they are going to raise taxes on the rich, but their tax plans always go far beyond just the rich. Their overall plan is to take from those that have and give to those that don’t have, just as Socialists always have. Taxes are the means to do so. Unfortunately, it takes away the incentive to work. Why work hard to earn more when it will be taken to give to those that don’t want to work, if they don’t have to, and why should those who are lazy work if they still get everything they need. It is basic human nature to want to improve oneself, which is the reason that socialism has never worked. As taxes increase, production falls off and soon everyone is starving because there is no food or merchandise in the stores. Most diverted to the black market where they bring extremely high prices that don’t show up on the records and only those with illegal income can afford. Socialist countries that survive, like Russia and China, use a hybred system which allows a few private monopolies under government supervision. Democratic Covid policies have sought to create a similar system in the U.S. by driving small businesses out of business and forcing larger businesses to consolidate to meet government regulations.
