The “Better Deal” which will
supposedly lead the Democrat party to electoral victory in 2018 and 2020
is simply more of the same junk aimed at giving more control to Big
Business and shutting down the small business owner. It is an Ideology
wrapped in a Populist flag and it will fail.
The
release of “new” policy platforms aimed at getting working class voters
to back the DNC has fallen at the first hurdle. It was presented with
much fanfare as “we have learnt from our mistakes, and are willing to
put you, the People, first”, but it is nothing more than corporate
cronyism that is to the advantage of Lobbying groups, and will achieve
nothing more than destroying the economies of rural communities.
The
fairytale script being played out began with Senate Minority leader,
Chuck Schumer, admitting that the cause of electoral failure was not, in
fact, the Russian Collusion story, or even the James Comey issue, but
in actuality their own inherent failings…Good start, eh? And they claim
to have taken stock and come up with a series of electoral platforms
that seek to make life better for the average American; but it’s all a
con. The Ideology is still the same and the Big Donors are thrilled at
the prospect.
The main
plank is a jobs creation scheme that involves giving tax credits to
employers that “hire at a higher wage”. But the reality is that this
will all be organized with the collusion of multi-national corporations
who will themselves push for a higher wage with the full intention of
keeping the same overall wage bill. They will move a proportion of the
jobs overseas and then raise the wages of those left behind, the overall
wage expenditure will remain exactly the same…Until their tax break
kicks in.
The Corporations will Lobby for a
wage level that will cripple the small and medium sized businesses in
small communities (mostly rural) and inevitably result in mass closures.
At which point, a new shiny superstore will open on the edge of town
that sweeps up the remaining economic freedom (and as we’ve seen with
Walmart shutting branches, it leaves behind economic devastation).
Added
to this tax credit will be a series of big infrastructure projects.
Which do actually work! It takes a while for the money to trickle down
to all levels of a community, but large scale projects do actually put
more money in the pockets of working people. However, if the Democrat
party are aware of this particular ”reality-bite”, and they do, in fact,
think infrastructure projects really help working Americans, then there
is a large-scale project waiting to happen RIGHT NOW down on the
southern border…Will they get behind it?
The
other platforms involve Regulatory Agencies to “deal with” overpriced
drugs and “anti-competitive laws” for companies. Basically more
regulation to destroy small businesses and benefit multi-nationals. It
is truly “Business as usual” for the DNC
The Trump Administration policies are
not much more “working class friendly”, but at least there is a focus on
small town regeneration and keeping factories in the US. The DNC
platform will be unlikely to sway even a single voter when election time
rolls around, but that was never the point anyway. The purpose is to
ensure that Big Business keeps pouring the money into the party
coffers…And this they have achieved admirably.
