BLAST FROM THE PAST, 12/10/2015 : FEATURE ARTICLES. A TRUMP VISION OF THE U.S.?
WHAT ARE THE TRUE GOALS OF A DONALD TRUMP ADMINISTRATION, AND WHAT WILL SUCH POLICIES MEAN TO ALL AMERICANS, NOW, AND IN THE FUTURE?
HERE IS A SHORT LIST TO CONSIDER:
PROGRESSIVE DEMOCRATS REPUBLICANS.
SUPPORT.
- UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE. OPPOSE ALL
- RAISING THE MINIMUM WAGE. OF
- LEGALIZING SAME-SEX MARRIAGE. THESE.
- RESTRICTIONS AND DISCLOSURE LAWS,
ON CONTROLLING CAMPAIGN SPENDING.
- PROVIDING SANCTUARY FOR WAR REFUGEES
FROM SYRIA.
... AND STRICT GUN CONTROL LAWS.
WHAT CAN WE TAKE FROM THIS?
It is a List that gives us a snapshot OF WHAT IS CONSIDERED IMPORTANT TO THE REPUBLICAN PARTY ON A NATIONAL LEVEL. ( OR ISN'T IMPORTANT, TAKE YOUR PICK.)
It can also give us INSIGHT INTO WHY THEY ARE ANXIOUS TO DEMONIZE ENTIRE GROUPS OF HUMAN BEINGS, WHICH INCLUDES FELLOW AMERICANS, WHO ARE GUILTY OF NOTHING.
HOW SO?
REPUBLICANS DO NOT SUPPORT
ANYTHING ON THE LIST, EVEN THOUGH IT...
- Gives different groups of AMERICAN CITIZENS
RELIEF FROM SPECIFIC CAUSES OF ECONOMIC
DISTRESS. ( UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE, RAISING
THE MINIMUM WAGE.)
- Offers an OPPORTUNITY FOR COUPLES OF THE
SAME GENDER, TO ENTER INTO A LEGAL AND MORAL
MARRIAGE CONTRACT.
- Expands or Creates Laws that Limit Campaign Spending, and
Discloses Lists of Prominent Donors.
- Expands Gun Control Laws To: REQUIRE BACKGROUND CHECKS,
LIMIT PRIVATE GUN SALES, RESTRICT THE SALE OF
AUTOMATIC WEAPONS.
- OFFERS REFUGE TO WAR VICTIMS, WHO ALREADY
HAVE TO PASS A COMPREHENSIVE BACKGROUND CHECK, AND
HAVE NEVER BEEN ACCUSED OF HARMING ANYONE.
WITH THE ABOVE IN MIND, LET US ASK THE FOLLOWING:
QUESTION #1.
WHICH PART OF THE AMERICAN PUBLIC IS
HARMED BY ANY OF THESE?
IF SO, HOW, AND IS THE HARM ENOUGH TO NEGATIVELY IMPACT
THE QUALITY OF LIFE FOR ANY CITIZEN?
QUESTION #2.
DO ANY OF THESE ALLEVIATE HARDSHIP, OR CAUSE IT?
QUESTION #3.
WHO BENEFITS FROM THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THIS LIST,
AND WHO SUFFERS?
QUESTION #4.
DOES THIS LIST VIOLATE ANY PORTION OF THE U.S. CONSTITUTION,
IF SO, HOW?
QUESTION #5- DO ANY OF THESE REMEDY PAST INJUSTICES,
OR ELIMINATE ANY INEQUALITIES FOUND IN THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM, OR IN CIVIL LAW.

BLAST FROM THE PAST: December 16, 2017 THE NEW TAX PLAN: PREDICTING THE FUTURE? LEARN FROM THE PAST.
If a MEMBER OF EITHER THE HOUSE OR SENATE represents a STATE THAT;
- HAS A HIGHER THAN AVERAGE POVERTY RATE.
- SETS A MINIMUM WAGE THAT RARELY INCREASES, FAILING TO KEEP UP
WITH THE COST OF LIVING. THIS FORCES SOME WORKING FAMILIES TO SEEK
FEDERAL AID TO PROVIDE A MINIMAL LIVING STANDARD.
- IS RELUCTANT TO SUPPORT A UNIVERSAL HEALTH PLAN THAT
WOULD BENEFIT ALL OF ITS RESIDENTS.
- HAS A LOW REGARD FOR EDUCATION, ESPECIALLY THE SCIENCES.
- DOES NOT EMPHASIZE PROTECTIONS FOR THE EMPLOYEE, BUT LEAVES
THAT TO THE WHIMS OF THE EMPLOYER.
- TRIES TO ADMINISTER JUSTICE ACCORDING TO THE FAITH AND
RELIGIOUS BELIEFS OF THOSE IN POWER.
WHAT WOULD YOU SAY ABOUT SUCH A POLITICIAN?
NOW, SUPPOSE THAT MEMBER OF CONGRESS HAS SERVED FOR YEARS,
AND THROUGH "SENIORITY" HAS GAINED POWER OVER OTHER MEMBERS
OF CONGRESS, INFLUENCING OR PREVENTING LEGISLATION THAT OTHERS
THINK NECESSARY.
WHAT WOULD YOU SAY ABOUT THAT POLITICIAN?
NOW, AS WE LOOK BACK OVER THIS POLITICIANS CAREER, WE SEE THAT
THE PEOPLE REPRESENTED BY THIS MEMBER OF CONGRESS ARE NOT
MUCH BETTER OFF, (STANDARD OF LIVING, HEALTH, EDUCATION.), THAN
THEY WERE BEFORE THIS "PUBLIC SERVANT" CAME TO WASHINGTON, D.C.
FURTHER, WHEN WE LOOK AT THE PUBLIC RECORD, IT SEEMS THAT LITTLE
WAS DONE, PROPOSED, OR SUPPORTED BY THIS ELECTED OFFICIAL THAT
WOULD ALLEVIATE THE PROBLEMS OF THE CONSTITUENCY.

NOW WHAT WOULD YOU SAY IF THAT POLITICIAN WAS GIVEN THE
POWER TO INFLUENCE THE COURSE OF THE ENTIRE COUNTRY, FREE
TO USE THEIR EXPERTISE FOR THE "GOOD" OF ALL.
WELL...
...WHY DON'T WE TAKE A LOOK AT THOSE WHO AUTHORED THE NEW
REPUBLICAN "TAX PLAN", AND SEE WHO IS IN CHARGE OF DETERMINING
THE ECONOMIC FUTURE OF THE U.S...
