There is one area where Republicans and Democrats agree. When it comes to charity, the money should come from Republicans.

Republicans donate personally. Democrats donate Republicans’ money by taxing them at disproportionate rates.

Modern democrats admire financial success in  the same way mosquitoes admire bare ankles.

The above is actually an unfair comparison. Unfair to mosquitoes, which are innately parasitic. For liberals parasitism is a conscious choice.

There exists a belief that the rich are responsible for providing solutions to poverty. This is not only blatantly false; it is thoroughly unworkable. History has proven this fact over and over again. The tendency to covet your neighbor’s wealth is normal. It is the inspiration to  earn wealth for yourself. The idea that your neighbor owes you some of what he’s earned has no basis in logical thought.

There have always been those who would attempt to gain personal power by advocating reapportionment of wealth. These are not stupid people. They know the benefits of such systems are nonexistent. They know Robin Hood was a fictional character. Allow me to ask…Who benefitted from the Russian Revolution? Who benefitted from Cuban and South/Central American socialism or communism? How are things going in North Korea? The winners are always those who promoted the idea of reapportionment of wealth. The losers were/are the supposed beneficiaries.

The concept of having other entities, whether it be wealthy individuals or the government, assume someone’s personal financial responsibilities has always been attractive to people without honor. The idea that a person is entitled to something beyond the gifts of God, without earning it, began as simple theft between primitive individuals. This crime grew over time as groups of various sizes became involved. We call the latter organized crime. Through the process of rationalization, certain groups claim that because depriving others of their rightful property without benefit to the property owner fits their agendas, the ways in which they steal are perfectly okay.  We don’t call members of these groups organized criminals because the ways in which they steal are technically legal. They are legal because people believe they are entitled to something for nothing…so laws allowing theft are passed.

Those of the population who are truly physically and/or mentally incapable of surviving without others’ assistance will always have socially derived care. Those who claim to be victims of a society which rewards effort, talent and ingenuity at a higher rate than it rewards sitting on one’s ass will always find sympathetic ears among the Democrats, socialists and communists who work tirelessly to promote continued poverty…for without poverty, these thieves have no power or value.

Has anyone recognized what is going on in Washington D.C.? For the past three years both sides of the political isle have focused upon the inappropriateness of how the other side exposes wrongdoing among their elected members. Almost no interest is shown regarding the wrongdoing itself. If you don’t announce you are about to enter the kitchen before catching someone with their hand in the cookie jar, you are the guilty one.

How was dirt dug up on Hillary? The Russians and WikiLeaks became the focus of attention. The dirt on Hillary got swept under the rug and she’s back entertaining another run for the White House. The Democrats, by way of Mueller investigates whether Trump was involved. Now, Trump’s investigation of possible corruption in Ukraine has Democrats threatening impeachment of the President. Corruption in Ukraine is sidelined. Crowds have chanted “Lock her up!” Crowds have chanted, “Lock him up!”. This is simple jockeying for an upcoming election.

All of this is clearly infantile, partisan shenanigans. Career politicians have no interest in exposing actual wrongdoing because such behavior is their modus operandi. They simply want to ensure such wrongdoing can remain undiscovered by cementing the maze of difficulties required to make public these behaviors. None of this is new, except Trump’s push to “drain the swamp”. That is the real threat both sides are battling with differing tactics.

Whether Trump has violated the Constitution is moot when the Democrats do it daily. Each side screams the same words against the other side. In reality both sides are guilty. The question is whether the voting public has any interest in elected officials  upholding the Constitution in the first place. The media doesn’t and are betting voters don’t either.
