The Right Wingers on Townhall are at it again, stirring up unrest by
predicting that Mrs. Clinton's statement to the Democratic Party
auxiliary at AARP, where she states that there will be absolutely no
change in the Social Security benefit structure, leaves no other option
than a giant middle-class tax increase. There is another way.
If 50%
or more of Americans vote Hillary Clinton into the White House (and
presumably a Democratic Senate and House as well) that will show that a
majority of Americans have become political morons, unable to judge
cause and effect and are just waiting eagerly for the free goodies that
are theirs BY RIGHT! Ask any successful con-man (aka Clinton
contributor) what is the first step to fleecing a chump and he will
reply, "Offer them something for free." Now HRC knows there's not
anywhere near enough money for Social Security at the present level
plus a giant new 'right' to unlimited free health-care and that raising
taxes too much will crush the economy, not a scenario that these
legacy-obsessed narcissists want to contemplate. There is, however, an
easy fix, one that also works to confiscate the 401k wealth of the
upper middle class; inflation after the indexes have been rigged not to
reflect it. Print money. To a clique steeped in fraud and dishonesty a
policy that compromises 'integrity', especially of something as
abstract as the currency, is an afterthought that can easily be justified.
After all, integrity isnt a concept they use in their daily lives, why
should the rest of the country need it? Of course at some point the
hogs at the trough will notice that the swill is mixed with sawdust but
then you can always blame Rush Limbaugh.
