It seems like their entire platform is based on ensuring their divided and conquered racial, ethnic, and gender groups get some sort of handout. I've never seen the liberal blueprint for a more prosperous economy, for example, only that they will force businesses into higher minimum wages and punish them for offshoring or being successful. In this case, what good is a minimum wage when jobs aren't being created? They don't want to fix the health care system, they just want to punish insurance companies and, again, promise the consideration of something of value (i.e. a handout) to their constituents in that regard. It's truly all about handouts, and not about more freedom or fixing problems.

Yes-

1. higher taxes
2. more regulations
3. less expansion of domestic oil exploration
4. war on coal
5. higher healthcare premiums
6. lower wages
7. higher unemployment
8. higher energy costs
9. less US manufacturing
10. more illegal immigrants
11. lower standard of living


Via the "Curly Effect", democrats seek to create more poor people. More poor people = more democrats

You have to pay top dollar to support the Starbucks-Whole Foods desire to Walmartize America.

But wasabi does clear out those nasal passages.

Pretty much the entire purpose of every Democrat action. The intended consequence is more poverty.
