The Robin Hood reference is for Bernie’s and Hillary’s
promise to provide free education to all students forever. But they have the
beneficiaries of this big-government largess reversed. They want to be seen as
promising the middle class the benefit of a free education, when in reality a
large section of the middle class don’t attend college (is college needed to
drive a cab, be a lineman for AT&T, become a plumber or work on the Ford assembly
line?), but the middle class taxpayer will absolutely pay the majority of the
cost of providing free college. So we have a case of the middle class paying
for the education of the upper class. Robin Hood and his serf friends are being
forced to pay for the education of the Sheriff of Nottingham and the King of
England. However, the fact that so many young people are buying into this
idiotic scheme proves that education would serve them well for being so dumb,
but I know that the government education that would be offered at such
government colleges would still leave graduates as dumb as when they went in.
Also, considering the free college idea from the
leftist/progressive perspective of global warming/climate change, do we really
want the government to support college education for all Americans, when we
know that a college education will often improve the salary that graduates
make, and they spend this extra money on airline travel, big cars, big houses
and otherwise assume a large carbon footprint while expending their excess cash.
So from the left’s position on the lie of climate change/global warming, they
should oppose any higher education. But trying to make sense of what the
leftists want to do and what they support will make you crazy if you attempt to
analyze it.
Concentrating on Hillary for a moment, her recent
barking-like-a-dog episode reminds one of Howard Dean and his primal scream a
few years back. And how about Michael Dukakis wearing the Beetle Bailey helmet?
What’s up with Democrat campaigning practices?
One of Hillary’s most-repeated phrases in her
presidential campaign is “.. I will work for you”. I cringe every time I hear
this idiotic phrase because it’s the expression of a dictator. The words literally
mean that she will give all the free stuff that government has to offer to her
voters and thereby make them happy. The phrase must be taken to mean that she knows
the individual wants and needs of all of her voters and, like Santa Claus, will
give them exactly what they want and need most. The phrase further suggests
that she will treat everyone the same, with no allowance for individual tastes
and preferences, and will place everyone’s wants in a one-size-fits-all cube,
at the expense of the evil rich. Of course Hillary will not work for either you
or me. She works for herself and she lies to get votes so she can use the
influence of the office of president to dish out favors to big corporations and
Saudi oil sheiks in response for million dollar donations made to her Clinton foundation.
Conservatives also make promises, but their promises don’t
promise stuff, they promise liberty and freedom. A true conservative will
promise his/her best to get government, represented by the IRS, the EPA, the
FED, HUD and numerous other government agencies, off their backs and out of
their lives so they can work and save and invest on their own and achieve the
life each individual wants and deserves for himself/herself and their family. A
government limited by our constitution will exercise only the limited and
defined power it’s allowed to have, and all other powers will reside in the
individual, thus making him/her free and proud of their achievements.
