Democrats’ new definition of ‘freedom’ is all about bigger government
Story by Post Editorial Board • 10h


Democrats gathered in Chicago are colonizing the word “freedom”: Seizing a term Republicans have brandished for decades and bending it to mean their freedom to control your life, to tax you more — and even the freedom to control the market.

Look: Kamala Harris entered the convention having just dropped an “economic plan” that calls for nearly $2 trillion in more spending and for Washington to set grocery prices.
 
Those trillions have to come from somewhere, and some of it will be yet more federal borrowing — which would send inflation back to soaring, and inflation is effectively a tax on everyone, but especially on the working- and middle-classes.

She also wants to double the corporate tax, which impacts workers more than shareholders — and would also slow the economy, slamming job- and wage-growth.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

The bigger governments get, the more slave master-like they become. ****slapping
