If Democrats really wanted to make life affordable they would pass ever piece of legislation that Trump is asking for.
In the last century plus a few decades, there has only been 1 Democrat president to make any attempt to make life more affordable. One. Only one. John F Kennedy lowered taxes. That's it. He's the only one.
How did Wilson, FDR, Truman, LBJ, Carter, Clinton, Obama or Biden do anything at all to make life more affordable. Social programs??????? You think social programs helped? Did you forget about the people who have to fork over more of their income to pay for those social programs. And what kind of success rate have those social programs ever had?????
It is impossible to tax your way into prosperity and I am not just talking about the rich. I am talking about the poorest. Taxes never made their lives better. It made a lot of them dependent and dependency does not create growth.
Benjamin Franklin, who was much smarter than any Democrat alive today, said the best way to cure poverty is "to make them uncomfortable in their poverty". When poverty begins to hurt in a free country then that person then is forced to improve their own life. With dependency there is no improvement.
Dependency is the tool of the Democrat Party because it creates a controllable class of people. That is exactly why Lyndon Johnson said, "I'll have those [n-words] voting Democrat for the 200 years". Dependency gives the Democrats power and control.
But then Democrats have always supported slavery, haven't they.
