Democrat Candidates Misjudge The Electorate: Everyone Wants To Be Rich, Not Poor And On The Dole

While the millionaire, radical, Democrat presidential candidates make hand-wringing speeches about how much the poor, starving American population needs their help to raise themselves from the throes of poverty, Americans are doing just fine under President Trump‘s leadership, thank you, and what American citizens need is for government to get out of their way so they can accumulate even more personal success, that the Trump administration has demonstrated is possible to a free people via fewer government regulations and lower taxes.

As an example of the leftist over-reach of Democrats, Bernie Sanders promises to give everyone all the things they want, while Mayor Pete promises to make seriously dangerous drugs completely legal for all to possess and while he awards reparations to illegal aliens because their feelings were hurt by being expelled from our borders or imprisoned, and Elizabeth Warren promises to open our borders to a flood of illegal aliens that will burden the governments of American cities, counties, states and the federal government with a forever stream of dependents. The only thing American citizens want from their next president is a secure border, punishment for criminals when laws are broken, and to leave American citizens alone to accomplish a pleasant future that only personal liberty can accomplish. But you‘ll never see a Democrat promise to allow Americans to live their own lives with little government involvement. Democrats want control over, and dependency from, the masses.

The “wealth” thing is what stands in the way of Democrats and their appeal to Americans. Democrats demonize “wealth” as only belonging to the selfish upper crust of our society, while not mentioning their own millions of dollars in personal wealth, and never recognizing that millionaire status is shared among tens of thousands of average Americans who have worked years to earn their money, been sensible with their earnings and have invested their money wisely. The Trump economy has caused people to realize that their personal interests are best served when a president allows them the freedom to save their money, invest portions of it and gain wealth while knowing that their borders are secure enough to keep the bad guys out and protect their families. Regardless of what Democrat liars say, everyone wants to be rich.

Promises from lying politicians are a-dime-a-dozen and nearly always prove to be false, but owning your own home, having money in the bank and having a growing retirement/investment fund are the types of financial security people want, not false, temporary offers from Democrats to give people stuff in exchange for a vote for a Democrat candidate. We’ve been there with the corrupt Democrats, and we don’t want to go back.
