BIDEN CAN’T STAND PROSPERITY — For ordinary Americans, that is:
When Margaret Thatcher became prime minister of the United Kingdom, the labor unions fought harder than any other entity to prevent her from removing the socialist yoke from the necks of the workers. The most powerful weapon they used against her was a group of labor laws very much like the PRO Act. The Brits had long since opted for socialism and it damaged their economy so badly that the voters desperately turned to Thatcher. She became their first female prime minister and saved them from becoming a third world country by repealing the kind of closed shop laws the PRO Act would impose on Americans and instituting the secret ballot in union elections.
During Thatcher’s tenure as Britain’s prime minister, as Heritage Foundation historian Lee Edwards points out, “Productivity grew faster than in any other industrial economy . . . Inflation fell from a high of 27 percent in 1975 to 2.5 percent in 1986. From 1981 to 1989, under a Conservative government, real GDP growth averaged 3.2 percent.” Yet President Biden and the Democrats want to transform our economy into the kind of dumpster fire that Thatcher inherited when she took office. Why? She put it thus in the Buckley interview: “The one thing about left-wing politicians is that they’re always fanatical, they never let go. It’s their religion.” And Biden is a devout member of the congregation.
As then-President Trump presciently predicted during his acceptance speech at the 2020 Republican National Convention, “Biden is a Trojan horse for socialism.” His handlers carefully constructed a wooden candidate who looked like a moderate, but turned out to be a delivery vehicle for dangerous leftist policies once he had been dragged into the Oval Office. As long as Biden is president and the Democrats control Congress, Americans will be forced to live with increasingly radical restrictions on their individual and economic freedoms while inflation voraciously devours their hard-earned prosperity.
In his 2014 history of the American left, The Revolt Against the Masses, Fred Siegel wrote, “The best short credo of liberalism came from the pen of the once canonical left-wing literary historian Vernon Parrington in the late 1920s.‘Rid society of the dictatorship of the middle class.’”
The Anointed understand that it’s for their own good, of course.
