Democrat Hypocrisy and Socialism

The old, tired, failed call for socialism has been raised by Democrats again as a panacea for the problems of those who struggle financially.

The answer is clear: Democrats proposing socialism in any of its myriad incarnations are phony and care nothing, really, about the poor at all.

If voters were happy and in control of their own prosperity, then who would need these Democrat candidates? Indeed, who would need the political party to which these candidates belong?

Second, nearly all of the Democrats who have tossed their hats in the ring for 2020 or who are likely to do so are within that category of the "Already rich." Indeed, most of these Democrats have net worths in the millions, and some of them are very rich, indeed.

Third, if these Democrats felt that the income tax system is unfair and that the rich are paying too little, these Democrats could voluntarily forgo deductions, income-averaging, and other parts of the federal income tax system that allows an individual to pay less in taxes.

How many rich Democrat politicians in Washington do this? None, apparently.

Fourth, even if income alone is the focus of Democrat socialist rhetoric, then surely the focus ought to be on those parts of America that have the highest income.
