Think twice when you vote to elect the next president

Think twice when you vote to elect the next president

“Clinton, Warren’s 1-2 punch at Trump” is a classic example of pandering the left wing socialism of Bernie Sanders.

Hillary Clinton championed the Elizabeth Warren and Sanders priorities including “more American manufacturing.” Obviously, these two ladies flunked Economics 101 in school. 

There is not going to be more American manufacturing in the U.S. if they get their wish to raise taxes on corporations and the wealthy.

The fact is the U.S. corporate tax rate is the highest in the world, and even higher taxes mean moving more and more jobs out of the U.S. to places with lower corporate taxes. The higher standard of living we enjoy today in the U.S. is a result of free-market capitalism, not socialism. Capitalism works when people with money (the wealthy) invest in companies that hire people.

Poor people don’t create jobs; they depend on the wealthy to provide the capital to create jobs.

It is a real pity that so many people buy into the wealthy Clinton false rhetoric just to get votes knowing that raising taxes suppresses growth and lowering taxes stimulates growth, as has been demonstrated over and over again. 

Even President John F. Kennedy, a Democrat, understood this, as did other presidents after him.

Think twice when you vote and understand the positions and the consequences of electing the next president.
