The Unwitting Socialist
The Unwitting Socialist
New York City gives Amazon tax breaks as an incentive to build a large facility in the city, thereby directly creating 25,000 new jobs for New Yorkers. Of course, in the end, many more jobs would have been created to feed and transport these new workers, including housing, which would be needed and built, demanding construction workers, lumber and Steele, to go along with the restaurants and businesses that would be created, as well. Taxi cabs, Uber drivers, better roads and bridges, those would be needed, too. That is how jobs are created. That is how the economy works. It is also how the government ultimately gets more tax revenue. And no, tax breaks aren’t giving businesses money, they are simply allowing the businesses that create jobs, to keep more of their own money.more of their own money.
Do I really need to say that “Your” profit, from “Your” labor and creativity, is not the governments? That is…unless you are an overt Marxist.
Maybe, an unwitting one?
I remember when Orlando Florida was a cow town, made up, primarily, of small businesses. Walt Disney, the visionary, saw more than small breakfast and lunch diners offering homemade biscuits and ham with red-eye gravy. He built the greatest entertainment complex in the world, in the middle of nowhere, and people and industry transformed the place like industrious ants descending on a breadcrumb, using it as fuel for the colony. That’s how an economy actually works.
Nowadays, though, more than a few Americans are unwitting Marxists, because they are as ignorant as dirt about even basic economic principles. This is especially true of two of America’s foremost imbeciles, Alexandria Ocasio Cortez and Liz Warren. Warren got rich flipping houses and lying about being a Native American, which she wasn’t. This lie was a conscious attempt to use identity politics to advance her cause, which was first and foremost, to become rich and powerful by playing the victim card, even if she had to completely invent a false reality, while accusing others of bigotry, in an effort to become a player in the game.
In the case of Ocasio Cortez, she was probably a star in college, and at Starbucks, her prime employer before becoming one of the most powerful women in the world, via a complicit media and a stunningly ignorant constituent base. She too played the victim card. And, like Warren, lied outright to gain an advantage, politically.
Apparently, both women are proud of their achievement of killing the Amazon deal, thus, creating no jobs and furthering poverty in the city that never sleeps.
What should we expect, then, from two would-be socialists, who are really, opportunists who know how to manipulate their political base, with promises of free things, just no jobs.
I guess the ignorance is too damned profound to make a dent in the heads of unwitting socialists.
Am I surprised?
Not even a little.
