As Virginia Foxx (R-NC) said, “There isn’t any common sense in D.C.” Trying to understand their line of thinking is mind boggling. Where did these people come from. It’s no wonder they don’t want any history prior to Rutherford B. Hayes being taught, they have never read history. If they had they wouldn’t be under the misconception that any of the following myths have any validity.
There just isn’t any rationale in their thinking. Recently a psychologist released the results of a 30 year study of liberalism and has determined liberlism to be a mental illness. I will have to concur with that finding. You don’t have to be a rocket scientist to realize these people aren’t all there. They are somewhere between mentally ill and inherently evil.
14 Myths Commonly Held by Progressives aka Dems, Libs, Socialists, Marxists, Communists
1. Government taxes have no effect on unemployment.
2. Illegal immigration does not depress overall market wages.
3. Government regulations incur no costs on the economy.
4. When the wealthy acquire new wealth, they do so on the backs of the rest of us, making us financially worse off.
5. President FDR was good for the country, and the Great Depression would have been far worse had it not been for him.
6. The process by which a drug must be approved by the FDA does not contribute to unnecessary deaths by denying experimental drugs to terminally ill patients.
7. The government regulations enforced by the Joint Commission on the Accreditation of Health Care Organizations (JCAHO) do not contribute to increased health care costs.
8. Minimum wage laws do not contribute to higher unemployment rates.
9. Growth of big government and regulatory bodies do not contribute to corporate-government corruption.
10. Government programs are more efficient, because government agencies, by design, do not seek marketplace profits.
11. Corporate profits can (and should, whenever possible) be efficiently reallocated through government programs to increase efficiency.
12. Government spending in the economy is equal to (if not better than) spending in the private sector.
13. The Tea Party movement is a small minority fringe movement comprised of racists and white supremacists.
14. Government reforms proposed by the Democrat Party are not at all “government takeovers”. In fact it is unfair to categorize them as such.
