Time Text
Utilizing talent on loan from God.
I am Rush Limbaugh.
I am America's real anchor man, America's truth detector, and the prestigious doctor of democracy.
Yeah, the Tea Parties are getting in full swing out there.
I just saw a bunch of great signs out there.
One of them just said uh regime change.
In Washington, counter-protesters have shown up at uh at a Tea Party rally, which was to be expected.
You know the regime's not used to this.
Throughout his entire pampered life, the leader of this regime has not been protested like this.
He has uh he's not been opposed like this.
Uh and it's uh it's it's it's only gonna make the regime angrier, folks.
This is this is not the kind of stuff that changes the minds of the regime.
And I know nobody in the Tea Party movement is expecting that to happen.
What we're trying to do is open more minds, the American people.
800 282-2882, if you want to be on the program, the email.
Andreas L. Rushboard at EIBNet.com.
Nancy Pelosi today announced that the current Congress has cut more than $800 billion in taxes.
And guess what?
The current Congress will add another $285 billion in tax cuts after lawmakers extend expiring tax provisions and make permanent the 2009 estate tax.
Still the Democrats are having trouble conveying this message to voters.
I wonder why that is.
This is from the Hill dot com.
Still.
Why why can't the people of the Hill why do you have to rely on Ransmus and a poll?
Why can't you at the Hill proclaim that Pelosi's lying through her teeth?
You know, if Republicans go out, make a statement like this, the report is Republicans claim to have cut $800 billion in taxes with Pelosi, it's Nancy Pelosi announced the current Congress has not claimed, but announced.
Oh, in a report of how many listeners I have in this program.
Limbaugh claims an audience of twenty- No, we don't claim it.
We report the accurate results of the rating surveys.
Don't claim it.
Pelosi is actually claiming something that isn't true.
Still, the Democrats are having trouble conveying this message to voters.
A recent Rasmussen poll found that 66% of survey respondents think they're tax too much.
The right-leaning American has anybody ever called the Brookings the left-leaning Brookings institution?
Just me.
The right-leaning American Enterprise Institute found that more middle class voters think their taxes will increase under the regime, despite Obama's promise to the contrary.
AEI's senior fellow Carolyn or Carlin Bowman said, We've seen concern that Obama's not going to be able to keep his tax promise to not raise taxes on the middle class.
Now they have not cut taxes, folks.
They are subsidizing certain activities and subsidizing certain people, and they're calling that tax cuts.
All it is is wealth redistribution.
It's just wealth red.
Well, you can call it a tax credit if you want.
But all it is is wealth redistribution.
They lie endlessly.
What tax cuts they've provided are minimal, and giving tax relief to people who don't pay taxes is welfare.
And now they're out there saying they saved us from a from a from another depression.
We've heard that already.
When in truth, what they're doing is creating another depression.
They are creating another depression.
Pure and simple.
So Pelosi's out there deeming something to be true that isn't.
Even Newsweek says that taxes will increase like hell, although it's a columnist.
Robert Samuelson, the only reason left to read Newsweek.
Here's his title.
Today is the best tax day of your life.
Looking back, we may, and I've, you know, I have thought about this.
I've I I think this is true.
Looking back, we may all remember April 15th, 2010 as the day we got off Cheap.
Why a growing deficit and increased spending on health care and social security nearly guarantee higher tax bills for everybody.
Almost nobody likes tax day, but people may look nostalgically on tax day 2010 and those of earlier years, because almost certainly taxes are going up in the future, and they may go up a lot.
With hindsight, tax day 2010 may seem almost dreamy.
The personal exemption, the standard deduction combined with the child tax credit and the earned income tax credit, shield many poor and middle class families from the income tax.
In 2009, they got extra protection from Obama's making work pay tax credit, which was 400 for single workers phasing out at 75 grand of income and $800 for a couple phasing out at $150,000 of income.
That's the big tax cut Pelosi's talking about.
Without that credit, though, and it wasn't a cut, it wasn't a rate cut.
Big difference.
Without that credit, probably only 40% of households or less would have paid income taxes.
President Obama has proposed that the credit be renewed for 2011, but given the massive federal budget deficits, there's a good chance that the credit will someday expire.
Why?
Well, for starters, almost half of all U.S. households are not paying any income taxes on their 2009 earnings.
The exact figure is 47%, says the tax policy center of the Urban Institute, a far left-wing bunch, by the way.
Two think tanks, Brookings and uh and the Urban Institute, among elderly households, 55% pay no income tax.
Among all households with children, including those headed by single parents, the non-paying share is 54%.
So depending on which group demographically you look at, well over half of some groups are not paying tax income taxes.
Now they are paying Social Security taxes and sales taxes and all that, but they're not paying income taxes.
By contrast, only 38% of married couples filing jointly don't pay.
And of course, this doesn't mean people pay no federal taxes.
I mean, three-quarters of households pay more in Social Security payroll taxes than in income taxes.
So we got we have to point that out.
So that's one pressure for higher taxes, but it's peanuts compared to the real threat and aging America and Robert Samuelson has been warning of this for years.
A lot of people have.
As almost everyone knows, the huge baby boom generation is edging or collapsing into retirement.
Its first members, born in 1946, turn 65 next year when they will qualify for Medicare.
Some have already taken Social Security as early as 62 at a reduced rate.
Boomers collecting benefits combined with uncontrolled health care costs are the underlying engine for rising federal spending and endless budget deficits.
How big a tax increase would be needed to close this forthcoming gap?
Well, huge.
To put things in perspective, all federal taxes, income, payroll and excise, averaged 18.1% of GDP from 1970 to 2009.
But under the Congressional Budget Office's assumptions about the regime's policies, taxes in 2020 would already be slightly higher at 19.6% of GDP.
But on top of that, there would need to be a further tax boost approaching a third to balance the budget because spending is projected at 25.2% of GDP.
Look, I get these numbers, you can get lost in them when listening to them on the radio.
The bottom line here is that in out years, 2020, 2025, under the current structure, the income tax rate is going to have to be as high as 88%.
Now you know it will not be.
I mean, people will not work at an income tax rate of 88%.
And in fact, if that ever does eventuate, you're going to have exactly what Coward Plyvin or Priven wanted, which is a total welfare state economy.
Total welfare with printed money and borrowed Money being distributed to people, and very few, very, very few people working.
If only today's top two tax rates of 33 and 35% were raised, the new top rates would be 86% and 91%.
That's what you need to know.
At those astronomical levels, the study says the well off and the wealthy would work less and pursue aggressive tax avoidance and tax revenues would suffer.
Uh, Mr. Samuelson, we're not going to have to wait for rates to be 86 and 91% for people to start working less.
That'll happen around 65-70%.
These bleak estimates demonstrate why politicians of both parties have avoided confronting the government's long-term budget deficits.
That's why the Tea Party people are out there.
The Tea Party people know this is where we're headed.
We don't have to go this route.
It's not too late.
We don't have we're not consigned to this.
We can stop this, but not under this current regime.
We don't have a prayer of stopping this under this current regime.
This current regime's design is these numbers that I have just shared with you.
Anything that politicians might do, raise taxes or cut retirement benefits, risks a public backlash, and of course that means a reelection problem.
Some experts urge new taxes, such as a VAT.
Others talks of broadening the income tax base by eliminating or reducing tax breaks like deductions, credits, or exemptions.
But none of those steps would be popular.
Hardly anybody wants to pay higher taxes.
Most big tax breaks, the home mortgage interest deduction, credits for college tuition, uh, benefit major constituencies.
Almost all the pressure on taxes are on the same direction.
Up.
It'll be hard for the Obama regime to keep its promise not to raise taxes on households with incomes below 200,000.
It'll be hard for economic conservatives or the Tea Party to achieve meaningful tax reductions.
Just about everybody will be tempted to deplore federal budget deficits and do nothing about them.
But this escape route may close.
Many economists warn that endlessly large deficits risk big jumps in interest rates.
Someday higher taxes may be unavoidable.
So the lesson for the day, 2010, simple.
Enjoy it while you can.
It's not going to get any easier.
That's Robert Samuelson writing in Newsweek, and the only reason to read Newsweek is Robert Samuelson.
He's part of the Washington Post writers group as well.
We don't have to go this route.
We do not have to grow this route.
Remember, the regime is not about generating revenue to run Washington.
That's not what their tax increases are about.
That's not what any of their domestic policies are about.
Lowering tax, the Reagan, the Reagan regime, if you will, was oriented about closing budget deficits, creating more revenue, lowering the tax burden on a larger number of people, expanding the tax base.
And it worked.
It works every time it's tried.
This regime's agenda has nothing to do with reducing deficits, reducing debt.
It has everything to do with expanding the scope and the power of government over the lives of as many Americans as possible and creating a never-ending dependence for the basic necessities of life provided by the regime.
And you why Rush, why do they want to do this?
I've told you countless times.
Someday, in my lifetime or not, someday you're going to understand this regime doesn't like America.
This regime doesn't like Americans.
This regime thinks this country never deserved to be as rich, big, or powerful as it was or is.
This regime believes all the crap that's taught in multicultural curricula.
That all of the isms, racism, bigotry, sexism, homophobia, all these environmental destruction, all of that was brought with Western European settlement, the discovery of a new world.
We have grown larger than we ever deserve to.
We have stolen and plundered resources from all over the world to enrich ourselves.
And in the process, we have impoverished people around the world.
The United States is the.
the problem in the world.
Capitalism is a problem because capitalism equals liberty, freedom, and prosperity for individuals.
This regime is not oriented toward liberty, prosperity, and freedom for individuals.
It's been a year, almost a year and a half now, folks.
It's time to fess up.
It's time to face this squarely and admit exactly why what's being done is being done.
We need not go this route.
You notice that Samuelson in his piece never even entertains the notion of cutting spending.
Hardly anybody does.
We're going to have to.
We're going to have to at some point.
We don't have any money.
We're broke.
We don't have whatever money Obama promising to build schools in Muslim countries.
We don't have the money.
We floated a porcupist bill of 987 billion or whatever it was to fix schools and roads and bridges.
That hasn't happened.
All that money went to government unions in the states.
Keep the union workers employed, because the Chicago Tribune had it right the other day on Sunday in the editorial.
The deal is this.
You union people, work for us.
We'll give you adequate salaries, but we are going to give you pensions and retirement plans and health care like you can't believe just keep us in office.
Except now, all those pension plans, all of those health benefits, all those things from California to New York to Illinois are underfunded.
In many cases by as much as 75%.
Nobody has any money.
The government does not have any money.
That's why they're going to go where the money is and take it.
From individuals, from pension plans, wherever they can get it.
Borrowing it, printing it, you name it.
I have a serious question.
A very serious question.
Robert Samuelson in this piece in Newsweek ignores the conclusion.
Final conclusion of the Urban League and the Brookings Institute findings.
I mean, if you say that tax rates are going to need to be 86 and 91%, what you're saying is that no amount of taxes will solve the deficit problem.
And he doesn't address that.
But when you when you tell people your tax rates 90, 91% or 86%, I'm sorry, you're not going to get enough people working, earning enough money to produce taxes at that rate to make a dent.
So it's a tandem out admission that there's no way.
And we've had another left-wing tax outfit.
The urban the urban institute's tax group, which is a left-wing group too, a couple weeks ago we had a story where they said, under our present structure, there's no amount of tax increase that will reduce or solve the deficit problem.
It is a spending side question.
But Samuelson makes the point that raising taxes through the roof.
Or no, he makes the point that uh cutting benefits will risk a public backlash.
If we cut Medicare, if we cut Social Security, if we cut Medicaid, we'd be risking a public backlash.
Well, why do we care about that backlash more than we care about the backlash of people paying all of this?
Why should we fear a backlash from the people who are getting benefits more than a backlash from the people who are paying for them?
Why is nobody ever concerned about the backlash from people who are paying the tax burden?
Ergo welcome the Tea Party.
The Tea Party poses the biggest threat the regime faces because the Tea Party is a revolt from those who are paying for all of this.
Up till Now we fear the revolt of people on the receiving end of it.
And we just expect the people paying it to keep on paying it and to shut up while doing so.
And if you complain whine and moan, we're going to compare you to Timothy McVay and say you're going to blow up a federal building somewhere.
And then we're going to say you listen to talk radio, you're racist white old hick, and you're joining and marching around in a Tea Party, you're trying to, you know, rev people up into violent acts.
That's what they're going to say to the people who have a backlash when they are paying for this.
So we're in a situation now where we fear a backlash from the people who are getting benefits more than a backlash in the people paying for them.
Now, at some point, that will be a reasonable fear because there are going to be more people getting than paying.
And so a backlas from them would be a mar uh a majority a large number.
We still have more people paying taxes than people who aren't.
So the backlash from those people would be larger if it were in unison.
In other words, put it this way.
Why should we worry more about people who don't work, who don't pay taxes, than we do about the very people who keep the country going by their industry, their hard work, their commitment.
Aren't we placing the concern in the wrong group here?
Aren't we sympathizing with the wrong group of people here?
But the regime.
See, the regime thinks that those of you who are working, you're only working because you have somehow shafted those who aren't.
You've either taken their job or you've taken away their ability, or you've taken away their slot in a university, or you have fired them, or you've done something.
So the people working, people pulling the cart, they deserve to be punished and find out what life has been like for the rest of the of America all these 200 plus years.
That's what's going on.
So what's the Tea Party, folks?
What is the tea?
The Tea Party, when you boil it down to its essence, is a backlash.
It is a backlash from people who work, and who expect their kids and grandkids to work, who want to work, who want their kids and grandkids to work, who understand what it is that's made this country great.
That's who the Tea Party is.
And the regime, the Democrats, mock them.
And when they're not mocking them, they ignore them.
And when they're not ignoring them and not mocking them, they vilify them.
They call them astroturfers.
They call them Nazis.
As is the case with Nazi Pelosi, as George Soros says.
When has the media ever ignored or mocked or vilified acorn protesters?
The media comes to the defense of acorn protesters.
The media comes to the defense of acorn advising people how to set up brothels in poor neighborhoods.
When has the media ever ignored, mocked, or vilified some group of people demanding benefits?
When has the media mocked, ignored, or vilified La Raza protesters?
Or union protesters.
Never.
This regime and its willing accomplices are engaged in the effort to vilify the backbone of this country.
The people who work and thus make it work.
They are the objects of derision.
They are the targets for destruction.
They are the very people, and the Tea Party people know it because they are those people.
The people who work, the people who provide for themselves and other Americans somehow become the enemy.
The people in the private sector who earn profits, who strive for profits so as to expand their businesses and grow and employ even more people, they have become the enemy in the United States of America.
But no better, I would say that Hugo Chavez is actually running this country.
And I'm probably downplaying this a bit.
I've never seen it like this.
I know that to the Democrat Party, the rich have always been the enemy for the purposes of politics, class envy, and all that.
But this regime is genuinely targeting the producers in this country and singling them out for harm, economic harm.
Because this regime has some god awful perverted view that they don't deserve it, that they have stolen it.
Come buy it in some ill gotten way or what have you.
They need to be cut down to size, as does the country on the world stage.
I mean, we're constantly in fear of uh backlash from Muslims.
That's why nobody will tell the truth about Fort Hood.
We say anything about terrorism.
We can't do we can use the word terrorism now or Islamic fundamentalism in our official government documents.
We're afraid of that backlash.
But there's no fear of any backlash from the people who actually make this country work.
None.
They mock that backlash.
They vilify it, they make fun of it, or they ignore it.
This is uh Holly, as we go back to the phones to Powell, Wyoming.
Nice to have you on the program, and I'm I'm glad you waited.
Welcome.
No better clinger does, Rosh.
Thank you.
Thank you so much for taking my call.
I'm so upset today, I don't know whether to sit down and cry or stand up and scream, so I thought I'd call you for advice.
Well, we can do both then.
I wanted to share with you.
I had a call from my son this morning who's in high school.
He called me between class and he says, Mom, you're never gonna believe what just happened in my government class.
So the teacher started going on a rant about the tea parties today, and then she said something like, The old people just need to shut up and go along with what needs to be done for this country, and then later she said, This country will be better off when the old people are gone.
Really?
And I'm thinking, okay, here I am in rural conservative Wyoming.
And if in c my son's class is getting fed this garbage, how many other kids across this country are getting fed this garbage today?
All of them.
How many millions of kids are getting this kind of garbage?
I mean, I d I mean, before I go and light into this woman, I need to calm down a little bit.
I'm spitting nails mad.
Are you gonna go confront the woman or are you gonna go confront administrators at the scrual?
Probably both together and get everybody in the same room at the same time.
I don't know what good it'll do, but I mean, th that this kind of attitude, I mean, who does this woman think she is?
I mean, my my dad, my uncle, my father-in-law.
These people all laid their life on the line for this country so that she has the freedom to spout this dribble that she's spouting.
Well, but it sounds to me like this woman is all uh uh practically in favor of death panels.
I I don't know.
Never you know, never talked to her about it at all.
Well, well, but how else will you interpret?
I mean, we've had a governor not far from you, Colorado, Richard Lamb.
Old people have a duty to die, get out of the way because they're too much of a financial burden later in their life, we just can't afford them anymore.
And that's essentially what this Doomkoff teacher has just told your kid.
Well, does she think she's not gonna be old someday?
No.
Young people never do.
I mean, they they they they can't imagine it.
They can't uh and they think that when they're old, they're still gonna be young, young in heart, young uh physically and so forth.
But by that time all the problems will be fixed.
If we just get rid of the problem makers now, by the time your teacher gets up there in age, everything will be fine and dandy.
I don't know.
I did their days and I just want to sit and cry.
I don't know whether it's better to just stand up and start screaming and not everybody look at me and go, oh, there she goes again, or just sit down and cry and be quiet.
Uh no, you can't you can't afford to be quiet about this.
You're your your son, by the way, didn't buy it, right?
Oh no.
I and I said, Well, did you say anything in class?
He goes, No, Mom, it wouldn't have gone anywhere.
It wasn't worth it.
So he said, I thought I'd just call and tell you about it.
I said, Okay.
When you talk to him next, you need to ask him, and just just for your own curiosity, you need to ask him how many students in the class bought it versus how many had the same reaction he did.
Probably about half and half from some of the other comments he's made about the class.
But I you know, you could you could go to the administrator and the uh and the uh uh teacher.
I want to see where in the textbook it says this.
I I want you to show me in the curriculum in the textbook where it says that the problem in America is the old people, and they ought to just find a way to go away.
Show me what page.
Show me that question on the test that that you're going to give my son.
I just want to know w where our educational establishment is go where do they get off going off on these ideas?
Why are they telling you it's not look at uh all this is now coming to pass.
Holly, I've been behind the golden EIB microphone for 21 years.
Indoctrination is what's taking place.
Your son's not being educated.
No.
They're trying to indoctrinate him with a pure leftist agenda.
It's it's not about education.
He's taking government class, right?
When's the last time they've taught the Constitution?
Well, they're supposedly learning that this year, but I think my son knows more about the Constitution than what's being taught in the class.
I'm sure that's the truth if he's got you as a mom.
I just it it the disrespect for our older generation.
I mean, propaganda is one thing.
Disrespect is totally an absolute.
Holly, Holly, it's worse.
It's not a disrespect for the older generation, it's a disrespect for the country as it was founded.
It's a disrespect for the traditions, institutions that have made the country great.
Your teacher's not got a brain.
This teacher's not intellectually superior to anybody.
She's been brainwashed herself.
She's she's been educated with the same people educated Obama.
She probably has the same view of this country Obama does.
Probably agrees with everything Obama says when he apologizes for the country.
I'm I'm sure that it's it's it's it's been part of the academic curriculum from uh college on down to high school for a number of years now, decades.
And it's uh it's all effervesc now to the surface, right out in the open.
Actually, this is somewhat of a positive in a way, Holly, because the teacher's not new.
The teacher and what she's teaching isn't new.
The reaction of your son is what's new.
The reaction your son calling, hoi mom!
Guess what this lunatic broad just told us in class?
That's what's new.
Ten, fifteen years ago, the kids would be lapping it all up and they'd be coming home and telling you what a rotten place old people America is and what a rotten bunch of people, old people aren't how they and you would have been agreeing with the teacher.
Anyway, Holly, I'm glad you called.
I really I I uh would encourage you to take the meeting with these people.
Just ask them where in the textbook any of this is.
Uh keep your cool, keep your cool, uh be feel very comfortable, confident in uh in telling them that they have not cracked your son's mind, that he still is an independent thinker.
And try to have as much uh fun with it as you uh as you can.
Folks, it's tax day, and I understand that as well as each of you.
Oh, do I uh I'm telling you, you know, I I just I'm I'm I'm s I'm still depressed.
I mean, I had a I had a meeting after the uh program yesterday to skate home.
I had a I uh you know, I I wait till today to file everything at the max.
I just it's just depressing.
Samuel's Samuelson, and this is the salad days.
You know, this is uh anyway, it's tax day.
And the Heritage Foundation people in Washington are recognizing today with the tax day money, but you know what, we announced this on Monday.
They wanted to uh, I think collect 150 grand to keep going, and I think they already had 140,000 by yesterday, and they're so far ahead of uh of what they wanted to achieve here.
You may remember Scott Brown did this in January, raised a million dollars in Massachusetts to pay for his campaigns uh final push to win the Senate seat in that state.
The Heritage Foundation is doing it to raise money to research and write some uh new approaches on why paying higher taxes is going to really hurt the country.
Now, I I know I'm preaching to the choir when I tell you about the Heritage Foundation, but you have to understand in Washington, there are a lot of people who disagree with the premise that higher taxes are gonna hurt the country.
Now, the people at Heritage know that you have to fight the intellectual battles with irrefutable facts and figures and present it in a smart fashion.
And you have to put the information into the right hands of people in position to speak out on this topic and any other topic that they uh they work on.
Ask heritage.org.
You can join 25 bucks, participate in the money bomb if you want.
Uh they are one of the good guys fighting the odds on the right side of all of these issues.
The Heritage Foundation.
I mean, once you become a member, the access you have to some of the best thinking, you don't have to wait for their fellows to show up on TV answering questions about the news of the day.
You'll know what the fellows are going to say on TV before they get on TV because you're gonna have read it at Askheritage.org.
Meeting and surpassing all audience expectations every day.
Rush Limbaugh, the all-important, all concerned, all everything, Maha Rushi behind the golden EIB microphone to Chicago.
Verlin, thank you for waiting, sir.
Great to have you on the EIB network.
Thanks for taking my call, Russ.
You have a great show.
Okay, now I don't want you to take me the wrong way because I am a conservative, and I mean that from the bottom of my heart.
All right.
But but the s the the turn the reason why I never voted Democrat is because I'm aware of my I'm aware of my history.
And uh I know what the Democrats uh party is about since it was founded.
Now, of late, I've been voting conservative up until now, well, Republican up until now.
Now, I haven't voted Democrat yet, but the way the conservative party, the stance that is taken, is talking about let's reach back to our forefathers and things of that nature.
And when I look back at the forefathers, I see myself as I wasn't where the Constitution says it, I wasn't even a man.
So how can I relate to what the what the party is talking about now when it doesn't relate to me?
Now, normally you all say, let's just move forward from right here.
I'm with I'm with you on that.
But when you start talking about George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, and all that type of stuff, I I just can't I can't relate to that.
And when I try to debate that with my black friends or or whoever I talk to, I lose the argument because they always throw that in my face.
Well, they talking about the Constitution.
You were you weren't even three-fifths of a man in the Constitution.
And I lose the argument.
Well, let me know you are they were slave owners.
Verlin lose the argument.
Let me let me jump in here because I've had uh over the years a bunch of journalists interviewing me have uh have asked me uh do you think you are being a little shallow and not really understanding what the founding of this country means to black people?
And I said, Well, no, I understand fully what it means, but I don't know that they know the full history of of what happened to the founding, but I also know that now is not the founding, and I also know that when we talk about returning to founding principles, we're not talking about returning to slavery.
We're talking about returning to individual liberty.
Now, let me let me tell you, Vernon, that that at at the at the Constitutional Convention, the whole subject of the Southern states, owning slaves, was a huge problem.
John Adams, no less recognized it as such, and they almost were unable to put the uh the coalition of the thirteen colonies together because of it.
And the and the only reason that they acquiesced it was the o i they they had to form a union in order to rebel against the king.
And when they wrote the Constitution, they provided the mechanism for all of these things that were wrong at the founding to be fixed.
This was the first country, the Brits were close behind to actually get rid of slavery, and we went to war with ourselves over it, and six hundred thousand of our citizens died in the process.
So it was I mean, the the aspect of slavery in the founding days is our original sin.
There's no question about it, but nobody wants to return to that.
Okay.
But the whole thing is is black people I'm just talking from the perspective of what I of what I hear.
Black people want to feel like you care, like like the America cares, period, because right now they feel like America doesn't care.
And the Democratic Party is the party that always acts like they have the extended helping hand.
Right.
Well, you need to ask these people just what is a Democrat Party done for them in the last fifty years.
They're still complaining about the same old things, Verlin.
The Democrat Party is what's keeping them down.
The Democrat Party is what's busted up their families.
I understand that.
I under I put I totally understand all of the points as far as uh how they used to Give the women housing and the but the man couldn't be there, so it was like the government taking care of the family.
I understand that.
The Democratic Party was the one that was behind all that.
Give people but but now give me right now.
Public housing and the uh public aid system is for everyone, it's not just for blacks.
But when they when the black people started taking advantage of it in like the late late 60s and the 70s.
You know, see, I'm gonna tell you something.
My my whole view of that is that while the intentions might have been all that wonderful, the results were disastrous.
And I I've I s frankly I question the intentions.
I I think the the effort of the Democrat Party from the get-go has to create as many dependent people as possible, starting with minorities and continuing now with as many people, I don't care what race is possible, that's what the Democrat Party's all about.
Uh and it's a shame.
I mean, it it it is it dehumanizes so many people.
The Democrat Party and leftism in this country has robbed black people, Hispanics, minorities, all kinds of people of a genuine prosperous future by telling them they live in a horrible country that gives them no chance when all the evidence is to the opposite.
I would tell your friends to grow up that it's not the 1700s, it's not even 1963 with Bull Connor, who was a Democrat.
It's 2010.
We all gotta work together to save the country so that we all don't end up like everybody else living in a Powsy project.
Not many people know this.
The states outlawed slavery long before the federal government did.
1804, every northern state had outlawed slavery.
But if uh if the blacks can't relate to the founders, how can they relate to the Democrat Party?
Party of slavery, the KKK, secession, segregation.
