Liberalism is Good for America

LIBERALS JUST DON'T GET IT! Vote con Liberals believe in the ideal, not the real world: Liberals hate the idea of profit. Without profit, there is no reason to have and run a business. Without profit, there is no reason to hire any workers. Liberals want to tax away profits from companies. Taxes are not paid out of profit. They are paid out of operating expenses. Raising taxes does not reduce profit, because taxes are paid from operating expenses. Because all competing companies are affected likewise, increasing taxes increases the price of the product. The consumer pays for the liberal attempt to tax profit. If the public won't pay the higher prices, the business leaves the country or goes out of business. Liberals think taxing businesses won't hurt consumers. Because all companies in competition are taxed alike, increasing taxes increases the price of the product. Liberals don't seem to understand that all business taxes are paid by the workers who buy the products. They think they are taxing the rich, but the poor who have to buy the products really pay those business taxes. The money the customer pays for the product is the only source available to pay business taxes. The consumer pays all business taxes in the prices of the products those businesses sell. Liberals raise taxes to try to get more money for government. The economy runs on the after-taxes portion of personal income. Raising taxes reduces the after-taxes portion of personal income. Raising taxes reduces the total size of the economy. Reducing the size of the economy reduces the personal income that is taxed. Thus, raising taxes reduces revenue. Liberals create huge social programs. Huge social programs require more tax revenue. Raising tax rates enough to fund the social program reduces the total size of the economy. Reducing the size of the economy reduces the personal income that is taxed. The higher taxes hurt the poor more than the social program helps them. The economy cannot support huge social programs. Liberals try to give the poor more with the minimum wage. Raising the minimum wage requires employers to find ways to pay the higher wage. Contrary to liberal beliefs, most companies do not have any "extra" money available to pay it. The company must choose to reduce the work force, reduce the quality of the product, or increase the price of the product. If every company raises product prices, the poor are unable to afford any more than they could before. The only real effect of the increase in the minimum wage is inflation. It does not really help the poor. Liberals try to give the poor more with socialized medical insurance. They want to make everyone buy medical insurance, and then subsidize those who can't afford it. Contrary to liberal beliefs, health insurance is the main reason health care costs are so high. Health insurance encourages waste, because "insurance will cover it." Health insurance is the disease, not the cure. So what do liberals choose to fix health care???. There is nothing in the Obama plan that prevents excessive charges. Because Congress added coverages for unnecessary medicine for egalitarian reasons, the premiums will be in the neighborhood of $2000 per month. The burdens on the economy of the Obama plan will destroy most jobs. If allowed to become a reality, the Obama plan will cause a permanent depression. Liberals fund sports, the arts, entertainment, and recreation to try to expand the economy. The activities that expand the economy produce useful goods for sale on the open market. Liberals believe that works of art and entertainment have the same economic powers that useful items (such as tools) have. Most works of art are not useful for any economic purpose. The acts of throwing, catching, running with, or kicking a football are not useful for any economic purpose. Entertainment is not useful for any economic purpose. Recreation is not useful for any economic purpose. Although the creators of these works got money for creating them, the works themselves do not create any productive wealth. None of these activities creates a useful product for sale on the open market. They do nothing that can expand the economy. The creation or purchase of art or entertainment destroys economic wealth, because it is not useful for anything productive. The wealth goes into the art or entertainment, and is never seen again. All government funding for these items contracts the economy, instead of expanding it. Liberals believe in Keynesian Economics. Keynesian Economics is a model a system where government can supposedly conjure wealth out of nothing. Work is not important to Keynesian Economics. Keynesian Economics says government must spend as much money as possible. The problem is that it has never worked yet. Work is the major source of wealth, but many liberals want to eliminate it. They want time to pursue knowledge and the arts. Keynesian Economics is a false model of the economy, because it does not include work as the major source of wealth. Liberals like Keynesian Economics, because it gives them an excuse to tax and spend. Liberals don't understand the economy. They believe in Keynesian Economics. Liberals believe government can conjure wealth out of nothing. Liberals believe that work is not important, except as a source of income. Liberals believe that works of art and entertainment have the same economic powers that useful items (such as tools) have. Liberals believe that business taxes don't tax the consumers. Liberals believe that the minimum wage actually helps the poor. None of these are true. Liberals believe that redistributing all of the wealth evenly would make everyone wealthy. They believe that all people could be wealthy if the wealth were shared evenly. But most of the wealth in the world is transitory, appearing when products are produced, and destroyed when products are consumed. This transitory wealth can not be redistributed. From the wealth that could be redistributed, each person would get about $2500 - once. That's hardly a wealthy sum. Their ideas about redistributing wealth are wrong. Liberals cite the ancient Greek civilization as the ideal civilization. They cite the ancient Greek civilization as an example of the perfect utopia. The ancient Greeks had time to pursue knowledge and the arts. The Greek civilization they idolize ran on slave labor. The workers didn't get paid. The southern US had such a utopia for the upper class before the Civil War. So the utopia the Liberals want can not exist today. Liberals have the ultimate goal of a government-created utopia. They want a world where nobody has to work. Liberals want time to pursue knowledge and the arts. Liberals want government to take care of them and give them money to buy things. This stupid planet can't feed any human population without work being done. Without work, there is no food. Without work, there are no products to buy. Government has no power to create wealth. Only work creates wealth. Redistributing wealth does not make all people wealthy. It destroys places of employment. The only way to a utopia is the Christian afterlife. But Liberals hate the Christian religion, so they won't ever see it.
