Rampell: Why the white working class votes against itself
They think they’re getting screwed because “the other” is getting more goodies than they are.
Click here for reuse options!Maybe they believed any Big Government expansions would disproportionately go to the “wrong” kinds of people — that is, people unlike themselves…
But there seems to be universal agreement, at least among the Democratic politicians and strategists I’ve interviewed, that the party’s actual ideas are the right ones.
Democrats, they note, pushed for expansion of health-insurance subsidies for low- and middle-income Americans; investments in education and retraining; middle-class tax cuts; and a higher minimum wage. These are core, standard-of-living improving policies. They would do far more to help the economically precarious — including and especially white working-class voters — than Donald Trump’s top-heavy tax cuts and trade wars ever could…
Across rural America, the Rust Belt, Coal Country and other hotbeds of Trumpism, voters have repeatedly expressed frustration that the lazy and less deserving are getting a bigger chunk of government cheese.
In Kentucky, consumers receiving federal subsidies through the Obamacare exchanges complain that neighbors who are less responsible are receiving nearly free insurance through Medicaid.,,
In Ohio, white working-class focus group participants decried that women who “pop out babies like Pez dispensers with different baby daddies” get “welfare every month” and “their housing paid for, their food.” These women seem to live large, one participant said, while people like herself are “struggling to put food on the table.”

Big government is owned by the wealthy and paid for by the middle class and poor one way or another. The tax code is manipulated by the wealthy; cost to comply is paid by consumers through higher prices. It increases lobbyists, corrupts politicians and increases difficulty of entry for competition, which causes less employment opportunities for workers and higher prices.
Excessive regulation increases cost for consumers, decreases job opportunities, corrupts politicians, increases lobbyists and increases difficulty of entry for competition. National debt: $154,000 cost per household paid by the consumer not the rich, through higher prices or lower standard of living. Federal Reserve: low interest loans for wealthy and connected, by the time it reaches lower rungs, rates higher, prices higher, including CEO pay – increasing the inequality gap.
We have more socialism now than the liberal left’s golden age of the 1950s. We have the FHA, HUD, Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, Community Reinvestment Act, Social Security, Medicare, Student Loan Programs, Obamacare/ACA, Snap Program, Earned Income Tax Credit, Unemployment Insurance Program and more. So the theory is false and the opposite is true. Socialism hurts the middle class. Big government equals more income inequality, smaller government equals less income inequality.
The national debt keeps increasing because of deals, aka compromises, between Democrats (social programs and entitlements) and Republicans (corporate welfare and defense). The middle class pays the heaviest burden for the debt; as it goes up, it further increases the inequality gap by lowering their standard of living. National Debt: $19 trillion costs or is financed by each household, who is ultimately responsible for that debt. This comes out to $154,000 per household if paid for in one lump sum. Financed for 15 years at 5% interest it would take a monthly payment of $1218. Do not be fooled each household pays this one way or another, not the rich; whether you pay it directly in taxes and fees, higher prices or by a lower standard of living than you would otherwise have if the government had not spent that money. That is on top of around $26,000 per household for the yearly federal spending. Which is a another $2166 per month. Total $3400 per month per household. The question is: Is your household getting its money’s worth?
Politicians promise you a fantasy land, that they can make your life golden by decree, raise your pay, give you free education, free health care, paid retirement, cheap housing, easy credit and protect you from the evils of the greedy businessman. In reality they can do nothing of the sort.
To give you anything they have to take something from you, do not be fooled when they say they will take it from the rich, the rich get it from you (increased prices), in the end it always comes from you. Politicians point at the rich guy as they pick your pocket. They are selling you an illusion that does more harm than good, because in the process they disrupt the free flow and balance of the market causing unintended consequences.
Politicians that promise to fix your life by taxing the greedy rich to cover the cost are really the sleaziest of middlemen that are selling you pixie dust while they take their cut, which is power.

Government is about half the health insurance market with Medicare, Medicaid and the VA. This is why the health insurance market is not functioning like a normal market in any other industry.
Get government out of the health insurance business as much as possible. Limit them to limited regulation and financial support for health insurance to those who need it.
Obamacare, Medicaid, Medicare and VA hospitals should be phased out. People under these programs and those who are financially below the poverty level should be given a yearly amount that they could use to purchase health insurance.
Keep the federal regulation stating that insurance companies have to cover pre-existing conditions as long as the person had previous insurance.
Allow people to purchase insurance from any state. Deregulate state health insurance markets. Unhinge medical insurance from employers in the tax code.
Getting government out and increasing competition in this way will lower health insurance costs. It cuts the bureaucracy costs, cuts the fraud costs and improves competition and quality of care.
Why not do financial support for health insurance the same way we do financial support for food?

Higher taxes upon the rich would lower GINI ratio (reduce the Gap between rich & the rest)…of course the rich won’t let that happen…
The federal government has no actual “coffers.”
A Monetary Sovereign (the federal government) doesn’t need to save dollars-because it can CREATE dollars!
Yes, the federal govt. has ledgers with credits/debits (which it can manipulate any way it wishes via Congressional approval) but those numbers aren’t yet dollars.
The federal government creates all of its spending money ONLY at the time the appropriate federal agency instructs banks to increase the numbers in any recipient’s account and not a moment before.
Federal tax dollars work in the exact opposite fashion-federal tax dollars act only as a device to reduce the money supply (one of several methods the federal govt. uses to prevent too much inflation)-our federal tax dollars don’t pay for anything!
Conceivably, federal govt. (deficit) spending is limited only by an unacceptable level of inflation. Federal govt. spending is never limited by taxes collected nor by monies “borrowed.”

When we had heavily regulated and taxed capitalism in the post-war era, the largest employer in America was General Motors, and they paid working people what would be, in today’s dollars, about $50 an hour with benefits. Reagan began deregulating and cutting taxes on capitalism in 1981, and today, with more classical “raw capitalism,” what we call “Reaganomics,” or “supply side economics,” our nation’s largest employer is WalMart and they pay around $10 an hour.
History shows how important high taxes on the rich are for creating a strong middle class. If you compare a chart showing the historical top income tax rate over the course of the twentieth century with a chart of income inequality in the United States over roughly the same time period, you’ll see that the period with the highest taxes on the rich – the period between the Roosevelt and Reagan administrations – was also the period with the lowest levels of economic inequality.

The Fed paid off over $94 TRILLION in federal debt in fiscal 2016…simply by debiting the securities accounts and crediting the reserve accounts of the applicable debt holders (mostly banks and the federal govt. itself)…The Fed could conceivably do this endlessly with not a “tax dollar” involved, ever.
You can see this FACT for yourself right here on the website of the US Dept. of the Treasury (Daily Treasury Statement):
https://www.fms.treas.gov/fmsweb/viewDTSFiles?dir=a&fname=16093000.txt
The near exact total (rounded in MILLIONS) of debt redemptions for Fiscal 2016, ending Sept. 30, 2016 was $ 94,225,757,000,000.00 (Yes! over $94 TRILLION)—as indicated on TABLE III-A, Redemptions, Column 3, Line 12.
The US federal government clawed back about $3.5 TRILLION in federal taxes in fiscal 2016…your notion that “taxpayers” are on the hook for federal debt just doesn’t wash…seems the “taxpayer funding” comes up a tad short, at just about 91 and a half TRILLION dollars…
I suspect that you actually have no idea what the federal debt is…
Please then, by all means, let me help you:
The US Dollar only exists in three forms:
1.) Cash
2.) Numbers in reserve accounts
3.) Numbers in securities accounts
When you add up all three together, the total equals the US national debt, to the last penny.
Cash + Reserves + Securities = The US National Debt
ONLY the US government manufactures US Dollars.
Since the so-called national debt is only in US Dollars, this means the national debt is not a debt at all.
It is, in fact, the NATIONAL SAVINGS. (This is the part where those who slept through Accounting 101 get a quick refresher on DOUBLE ENTRY ACCOUNTING).
Why so much debt and why are Japan & China, for prime examples, two of the largest US Creditors?
Japan & China EARNED US dollars (mostly by selling us stuff) and they both wish to safely invest them right here in the USA in interest earning Securities (savings) accounts at the Federal Reserve Bank of the United States. Which, by the way, is the LARGEST and SAFEST bank in the world…
The federal debt is nothing more than US dollars in safe haven savings accounts at the Fed…and just like any bank anywhere, growing account balances (increasing debt) at the Federal Reserve Bank burdens absolutely NO ONE.
SteveD December 24th, 2016 at 00:29
Fed govt. sold over $ 95 TRILLION in securities-aka “federal debt” (see above URL) in fiscal ’16 as well…so for now, the “what if no one buys our debt” crowd can remain at bay (which no doubt includes TK).

Rural voters are not monolithic. Some of us are workers, and some of us are shirkers.
The Guatemalan immigrant family who operates my local pizza shop are workers. Several of the whites they hired to work for them are shirkers. So they laid them off. Now the shirkers get to collect benefits subsidized by the tax-paying Guatemalan family of workers.

Jerry seemed to be assuming that all rural voters are white and they all think alike. My response was intended to remind him that rural voter are not monolithic and they are not all white.
I know four members of the Guatemalan family personally. They all grew up in Guatemala City and three of them were alive when the earthquake hit in 1976. One day I asked Rosa about the immigration process. She showed me a little flag that she keeps on the food prep counter. I had never noticed it before. Written in the corner was the date on which she received the flag at the citizenship ceremony in Pittsburgh. Most years they close the pizza shop for a month during the winter because they fly to Guatemala to visit relatives. Given that, I would have to assume that they are all here legally. But nobody should have to make that assumption. If our immigration laws were enforced, then legal immigrants like Rosa would not have to live under a cloud of suspicion. Allowing large numbers of people to enter illegally just makes life worse for people like Rosa who play by the rules.

Reagan agreed to a package deal that granted amnesty but also was supposed to put a stop to further illegal immigration. Amnesty was supposed to be a one-time deal. If we have to keep granting amnesty, we might as well just fling open the borders.

In 2015, Mexican universities graduated 114K people with degrees in engineering.
http://www.mexico-it.net/mexico-become-world-leader-engineering-computer-science-graduates/
Just like the US, parts of Mexico have a high crime rate. But the people who leave Mexico and come to America are just like the people who leave America and go to Canada or Europe. They were not satisfied in their home country, so they are not likely to say good things about it. Jose, the guy who owns the pizza shop, came to the US in the 1980’s. He never has anything good to say about Guatemala or Mexico. I recently asked him if things were getting better in those countries, and he immediately said they are only getting worse.
But what is the reality? Why do over 100K students bother to get engineering degrees if the place is such a mess?
For every young Mexican woman who emigrates to the US, there are probably twenty more who do not emigrate. If you’re asking me to show compassion toward the one who emigrates, then why don’t you show compassion toward the twenty who remain in Mexico? Why not look for ways to help the Mexican and Guatemalan economies to improve? Do you support NAFTA? Hasn’t NAFTA been good for Mexico? And if you don’t support NAFTA because it has flaws, what kind of trade agreement would you support? Do you have any other ideas for helping to make Mexico and Guatemala better places for all of the “remainers” to live?
It’s all well and good to care about Mexicans who cross the border. But why does crossing the border make a difference? Why don’t these people matter just as much if they are unable or unwilling to come to the US?

Obviously from BLM which is strongly supported by Hillary, the Democratic Party, the leftist media and white leftists in general. So why then wouldn’t he believe that the police are murdering innocent blacks? I recently read a comment which said it is possible to support BLM and not be anti-police. Perhaps so but that’s not what has happened.
I told him it’d probably be better to have only black cops in black areas. He said that wouldn’t work because black cops are also part of the system. What he meant by “the system” was what Hillary and other white leftists call “institutional racism” which means that “white supremacy” is woven so deeply into the fabric of American society that it’s simply impossible for blacks to be treated fairly and therefore massive change is needed to destroy this evil system that so brutally oppresses blacks.
If I were asked for advice on how to destroy a multiracial society promoting ideas like this is certainly what I’d recommend. I consider the left insane and of course they’d say I’m racist/fascist. Basically, what we have here then is the loss of a common reality and without something as basic as that how do we have a country? Does America even still exist as a country?

I approve some comments just to let the locals tear into the poster.
Yours is such a comment.

You have obviously lost something yourself… but in your case,
a mind would be a terrible thing to have.

It’s not “innocent” blacks. It’s unarmed blacks killed by officials abusing their authority. They didn’t get the idea from BLM. They got it from seeing a bunch of videos of actual shootings of unarmed black men and boys.
BLM is not anti-police. It is anti- unaccountable abuse of authority. And if you think racism isn’t involve, please post a video of an unarmed white man being shot by police.

Or even, a vid of a white guy being shot WITH a gun…

BLM is built on the LIE of “Hands Up – Don’t Shoot”
Ya sound like the poster boy for sappy, white political correctness Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon, who said that the video of The Gentle Giant’s strongarm robbery was used to “besmirch” his reputation.
Yup – nuthin’ like a video to besmirch one’s reputation.
