Two years ago, I wrote that the Dream was on hold:
The economy is stalled. Business expansion is stalled. There are fewer doors of opportunity for people who want to run through them. Median incomes are declining. Taxes and the national debt are increasing.
Last Sunday I talked about why it's actually a good thing for the economy if businesses use their tax savings for stock buybacks, because it puts more capital in the hands of investors who will likely find productive uses for the cash. This was a partial rebutall to the bluster from Democrats like Elizabeth Warren that businesses would do nothing to "help workers" with the tax cut.
After nearly a year of the Trump presidency, it is clear that Trump Derangement Syndrome is here to stay among the liberal media and the so-called Democrat leaders in Congress.
We told you on the radio Thursday that Elizabeth Warren gets more wrong by the day. She insisted before the tax cut vote in December that the corporate rate cut would not benefit ordinary people at all, because the corporations would just use the saved money for stock buybacks and executive bonuses.
First we were told Donald Trump could never win the nomination. Then we were told he couldn't win the election. Then we were told no good people would join his administration. Then we were told he could never govern. Then we were told the Republican legislative agenda was impossible.
You wouldn't know the American Dream is alive and well through the narrow lens of the media. That’s the message I shared with students at the University of Houston last week.
Democrat-designed welfare system: When you rob people of the dignity that comes from work and self-sufficiency so you can buy their votes
To listen to the media this week, you'd think it was an ObamaCare triumph! Almost 1.5 million people signed up for ObamaCare since November 1! What a big deal!
The quick analysis from Republican losses in New Jersey and Virginia this past week is that Donald Trump is unpopular and the voters are expressing their displeasure at the ballot box. It's certainly not the first time that has happened. The president's party usually loses seats in off-year elections because voters are unhappy about one thing or another.
Despite the deception and internal issues of the Democrat Party, its ideology and goal remain to control more of our lives. They shoved the failed ObamaCare down our throats, and they are resisting all efforts to boldly cut taxes and simplify the tax code.
