It’s All an Act

Fighting inflation with what caused it may not quite work.

Have they tried raising taxes?  Eternally visionary Democrats are as clever as they are original.  Shoplifters saving you from theft will next proclaim that inflation is illegal. There’s still time before the midterms.

The Inflation Reduction Act makes Orwell’s ghost weep.  Language is a victim just like your savings.  We need Congress to please stop acting.  Pretend time causes actual harm.  Inflicting delusional dreams on everyone else is no way to cope with previous devastation commissioned against reality.  Senate Democrats may as well promise to ban rain during picnics. They’d somehow cause downpours, which is the only way they could control the weather.

An economic bill guaranteed to make the economy worse could technically be accurate.  The thing is most politicians claim they want to help.  Besieged Americans who find their worthless cash piles dwindling pray for a House miracle.  We don’t know if it’ll make it through despite the sense of impending doom growing more immediate.  We do know we’re in even more trouble if it does.  The rather grabby party never asks for consent.

Like Michael Scott going all in on the first hand, a big gesture may end up doing the opposite of paying off.  The woeful act would be transformative like the iceberg was to the Titanic.  The Hindenburg’s landing on it.

Democrats will be shocked by worsening fortunes making fortunes disappear.  Contemporary Marie Antoinettes act the same way about the recession they spurred, and consistency has grown tiresome.  They’re the only ones surprised by a predictable ending.  If you endure the misfortune of spending an evening with Chuck Schumer, you’ll be even more bored by how he can binge a show again and be gobsmacked at the ending.  This party only needs one streaming service. They’d save money if if they remembered to cancel the others.

The answer is always more, which means less.  Yet another blasted tax hike is an infringement on liberty and also your money.  The latest bout of piracy is portrayed as being for our own good.  It’s not like the wealthy would buy from or pay you.  Plundering is based upon the presumption all humans but the scurvy crew are useless.  We’ll spend incorrectly, so they’ll bury the chest.

We could never negotiate ourselves.  Sure, that’s all an economy is.  But people are never going to spend their own money on what they need or anything.  Pretending the government is a careful steward looking for bargains will surely leave us with plenty of spending money starting now.  Adding battalions of IRS agents is what Democrats consider full employment.

The manifestation of predation results in portraying the taxman as the apex of bravery.  A party that treats felons like a constituency suddenly cries about crime.  Sure, they’re not upset about erasing the border or eliminating cash bail as if muggers were the real victims.  But free humans wanting to keep what they earn instead of seeing it taken by the most useless entity imaginable are treated as Legion of Doom regulars.

It never occurred to our deepest thinkers that the level of seizure is excessive.  Passing a law becomes the new moral standard to those who link consciences to signed bills.  Refusing to distinguish between what’s legal and right is just another way Washington’s most zealous worshipers display blind faith.  An infected economy infects universally, and liberals finally found victims they don’t pretend to care about.

Everyone loses at class warfare.  People who think Joe Biden could get something right salivate over the prospect of once again raising taxes on the rich, which is classified as anyone making more than you.  Fiends who had the nerve to accept money in return for goods and services wouldn’t just buy, hire, or invest if they were allowed to keep their paychecks.  Others pursuing their interests benefit everyone else. We really are united.

Oh so sophisticated soothsayers would never entertain the thought of just making the same rate for everyone.  An indifferent percentage that allows for advancement would make the government feel left out.  You could become rich, too, and who wants to wallow in self-loathing?

Fretting that the most wasteful entity imaginable has sufficient revenue is a common bit of hysteria from those who figure recession is only because 30 freaking trillion dollars in debt is insufficient to create utopia.  I can assure panicky statists that government has more than enough.

Nuking economic rubble isn’t the only miscalculation by Democrats.  The recession parade leaders thought they’d cruise to electoral success by crusading for full Planned Parenthood dumpsters.  Instead, inveterate meddlers raise taxes at the only time worse than all others, change the climate by burning your money, and conclude the only way to lower drug prices is by billing the collective.  Their only skill involves scaring enough voters right before elections, and they even suck at that.

Starving citizens dining on squirrel and grass clippings stew are told feasts are forthcoming by those who made groceries disappear.  We didn’t need another example of why activity might not create progress.  The only Democratic success is a bill that’ll ruin success.  America would advance if only they’d idle.
