The Left’s rhetorical response to tax cuts represents a fundamental redefinition of private property.
I’m starting to think that all too many Democrats believe that private citizens and private corporations don’t actually own their private income or their private property.
Otherwise, how can we explain the Democratic insistence, repeated endlessly over the last 24 hours, that Republicans somehow are poised to execute a grand “heist” by cutting corporate and individual tax rates, granting an estimated 80.4 percent of taxpayers an average tax break of $2,140.

Congress passed historic, far-reaching tax reform legislation this week, and President Donald Trump is expected to sign it into law soon after some technical fixes. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act cuts rates for most tax brackets, substantially reduces corporate and small business taxes, increases the standard deduction for individuals and couples, and eliminates many tax loopholes and deductions.
Since Republicans first rolled out their plan to implement tax reform, liberal pundits and Democrats have created and perpetuated a number of false claims about the legislation. Some are based on earlier bills, while others were crafted out of thin air to make it as difficult as possible for Republicans and President Trump to promote their plan to help Americans keep more of their own money.

President Trump delivered a statement at the White House Thursday where he touted his progress on deregulation, one of his top priorities. He also literally cut a strand of 'Red Tape' while standing next to several huge stacks of paper.
He said that in 2017, more than 22 times as many regulations were removed from the books as were added. Full Story....Here

The Democratic Party's remaining strength is in large urban areas. In the 2016 presidential election, the Democrats carried fewer than 500 counties, almost all of them urban, out of a total some 3,100 counties nationwide. The Democrats must hold onto this urban support, or the party will collapse.
Therefore, President Trump's announced intention to improve life in America's cities is an existential threat to the Democratic Party. If President Trump succeeds in bringing jobs, safety, education, and prosperity to America's inner cities, the Democrats would lose their last strongholds of support. Full Story....Here

That record, according to the Club for Growth, includes voting in 2011 and 2015 for Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker’s budgets. Full Story..Here
This article is posted to point out the absurdity of "The Left's" constant call for more gun control. Here we have a 25 year old, arrested 25 times, AS AN ADULT, convicted of four felonies, one of which was a gun violation. AND WE NEED MORE GUN LAWS. Give me a break. Seems to me you already have all the tools you need to keep idiots like this off the street, but if you aren't going to even open the tool box there isn't much hope. But, then again, the whole agenda is not to disarm these thugs, it's to disarm law abiding gun owners.

A convicted felon was charged with shooting a Chicago Police officer during a foot pursuit late Wednesday in the Rosemoor neighborhood on the Far South Side.
******
Anthony Woodridge, 25, was charged with felony counts of attempted first degree murder, aggravated discharge of a firearm and aggravated battery by discharge of a firearm, according to Chicago Police.
******
Johnson explained Thursday that Woodridge had been arrested 25 times as an adult, and convicted of four felonies. Most recently, he was convicted of possessing a handgun as a felon on parole and sentenced to nearly five years in prison last June.
“This guy was sentenced to four and a half years in June of 2016, and we haven’t even completed 2017 and he’s out, back on the streets doing the same things he was convicted of,” Johnson said. “What message does that send? It tells them we’re not serious.”

Johnson stressed the need to pass “more commonsense gun laws” to give police and citizens “the tools to be safe.”
