While the First Amendment guarantees citizens the right to their opinion; to be taken seriously, one needs to be grounded in reality.
Instead we get the usual weekly hot air post from Ms. Confino, droning on and relentlessly shilling for the agenda of the Democrat Party with her sanctimonious platitudes and pieties along with her selective statistics. Predictable. But reality won’t be denied.
In 1948, New York State had 47 Electoral College votes while in 2012 it will have dropped 40 percent to 29; all driven by population erosion and which is projected to fall into the low twenties by mid-century! And what are the governing benchmarks of NYS, a rock solid blue Democrat bastion along with Mass, Illinois and California?
Big government, high taxes and political correctness, among others. Isn’t it way past time to get real?
Where the Democrat collectivist fantasy is rooted, citizens, like those behind the Iron Curtain, vote with their feet and leave; a stone cold reality. Nassau County, our ‘Greece on the Sound’ is testament to the results of this statism, a Democrat tenet of ironclad acceptance and belief; always for the greater good you know.
In fairness, the endemic corruption and ineptitude in DC, in many statehouses and at the local level, is a function of the Republicrat Duopoly; heads and tails of the same coin. It’s the core reason nothing fundamental changes in DC and elsewhere. The lack of bi-partisanship has nothing to do with it.
Asserting that one political party has a superior jobs plan is so laughable as to be beyond embarrassing. The home truth is that politicians never create jobs or wealth, unless it’s directed into their own pocket. Period.
A job is created when an entrepreneur assumes risk and freely offers a wage to a worker in exchange for his labor, which the worker freely accepts.
When the worker’s output is sold at a price above its cost of production, the entrepreneur creates wealth. When the worker saves a portion of his earnings, he creates wealth. The secret catalyst for wealth creation, future investment and jobs is deferred gratification. This fundamental dynamic of capitalism was defined long ago by the English Classical Economists; Smith, Ricardo and Mill, among others.
