Socialist Scheme #2:
Socialist Schemes Continued…Free-for-all Health Care:
Socialist Schemes Continued…Free-for-all Health Care:
It’s
no secret that Bernie Sanders is the godfather of American socialism.
He
received more millennial votes than Trump and Clinton combined.
And
his ambitious free-for-all health plan is a disaster.
The
Urban Institute and The Mercatus Center, both social and economic policy think
tanks-
…Recently
revealed that Bernie’s plan will cost the government $32 trillion over the
decade.
The
Tax Policy Center also ran the numbers. Bernie’s health care plan would, if
unfunded, add a further $3 trillion a decade, in interest costs alone.
These
are big numbers that make your head spin, I know. But the Democrats are
embracing this plan as is.
But
that’s not all…
Socialist Scheme #3:Free College for All and
Forgive All Student Loans:
How
about we magically pull out $1.4 trillion from somewhere to clear all college
loan debt?
If
you’re thinking, other
people's money will pay for it…
Then
you’re right. It’s your money that will pay for it.
It
will cost another $807 billion for Democrats’ free college scheme over the next
decade.
Sad
thing is… all the socialist presidential hopefuls for 2020 support free college
for all.
This
next one is a direct copy-cat from former Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez’s
book.
Socialist Scheme #4:
The Largest Takeover of Private Wealth in Human History
The Largest Takeover of Private Wealth in Human History
Have
you heard of the proposed Accountable Capitalism Act?
Here’s
the long and short of it.
It’s
a plan that’s been called a “federal takeover of the U.S. economy.”
And
it gives the federal government the right to dictate how U.S. companies should
manage their money…
And
how to distribute profits too…
Just
imagine… businesses that traditionally pay dividends to retirees… like
Coca-Cola, Walmart, and Johnson & Johnson…
And
retirement-friendly assets like Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) and
employee stock repurchase plans…
Including
401(k) plans, IRAs, and other retirement accounts that are invested in
stocks... all subject to a socialist government’s meddling.
Basically
the government can “count your money” before you yourself touch a cent.
If
successful, it would constitute the largest redistribution of private funds in
American history.
Isn’t
it funny how politicians can’t seem to balance a budget, or avoid a government
shutdown…
Yet
want a big say in running corporations.
In
case you didn’t know, the Accountable Capitalism Act is Elizabeth Warren’s
baby…
She
is the same woman who’s running to become a socialist president in 2020. I hate
to tell you this, but she could win.
Socialist policies will cost us a solid $40 trillion.
That’s
more than the GDP of China, Russia, Germany, Canada, France, Brazil and Japan,
combined.
Question
is: How are they planning to fund these socialist programs..?
We
all know how: More debt. More taxes. Cutting military funding. Abolishing the
Immigration and Customs Enforcement department. Stealing from Social Security
and Medicare…
Just
take your pick….
No
one said it better than former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher: “Socialist governments traditionally do make
a financial mess. They always run out of other people’s money.”
In
this case it will be YOUR money they’re coming after…
Prepare
for…
Higher taxes on working-class Americans:
According
to the Congressional Budget Office, one option for raising $34 trillion would
require seizing over 70% of all corporate profits… including over 60% of all
family income.
That
could mean higher taxes on your 401(k)… even if you withdraw after 70 years.
With
nearly 50 million Americans holding 401(k) plans, that’s a nice money pool for
the socialist government.
But
don’t think a 60% tax bracket is far-fetched or impossible…
Unless
you’re living under a rock, I am sure you’ve heard of the Green New
Deal…
It’s
a set of expensive new policies for the “New Socialist America”…
…Pushed
by Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez who is now on the finance committee of the House.
And
a proposed 70% tax threshold for top earners is the only way to pay for it.
An
opinion piece in the Washington
Examiner reports this Green New Deal “is one of the most dangerous and
extreme proposals offered in modern U.S. history. It’s the sort of thing you’d
see in the Soviet Union, not the United States.”
In
short: Your money will be confiscated and disguised as a “tax.”
Your assets will be confiscated:
Don’t
for a second think that asset confiscation is impossible.
It
happened in 1933 when socialist president FDR forced everyone to turn in their
gold at $20 an ounce…
Then
they turned around and set the price at $30 an ounce. That’s 10 bucks on every
ounce.
But
let’s talk about today…
Do
you know there’s a rule called Civil Asset Forfeit?
Under
this rule, the state of Wyoming confiscated $91,800 from a musician named Phil
Parhamovich… but never charged him with any crime.
Similar
situations arose in Texas and elsewhere causing a federal judge to remark, “It’s victimizing innocent citizens who’ve
done nothing wrong.”
Just
imagine what will happen under a socialist government who’s looking to take
from seniors to give to millennials…
Without
warning, you could be locked out of your bank account, locked out of your
brokerage account, locked out of your business, and even locked out of your own
home.
And
that comes with another burden…
Greedy lawsuits:
Any socialist government no doubt
creates an environment where everyone thinks they’re entitled to your money.
With
over 70% of the world’s lawyers operating in the U.S., expect lawsuits to be on
steroids.
Imagine
being sued for saying anything “politically incorrect” to someone, or just
because you speak the truth.
Or
because someone slipped in front of your house, even if they trespassed.
Or
because you’ve held on to what’s rightfully yours and that, my friend, can be
seen as an “injustice against the poor.”
Believe
me, the socialists will find multiple ways to get your money.
Think
of it.
There’ll
be two major “devils” you’ll have to deal with.
The
coming recession that could wipe out your savings… and socialism that will
ensure hard-working Americans give up their own money… for a very long time.
Your
payouts from Social Security and Medicare will also be slashed to fund other
welfare projects for young voters.
Medication,
food, everything will be controlled by government hacks… such as a socialist
Democrat like Elizabeth Warren or Kamala Harris…
First
off…
You’ll
need to make sure there’s a “safe” location you can go to when socialist riots
hit your neighborhood.
Make
sure you’ve got enough food, water, and medication. Also keep all important
documents in a sealed bag.
The
next step is to grow your wealth to sustain your survival over the long haul.
It’s
important to get exposure to some of the most valuable assets on Earth,
especially during a crisis.
Modern
economies can’t run without huge amounts of oil, coal, copper, platinum,
uranium, corn, rice, lumber, and iron ore.
These
natural resources are so important, they’re often a matter of national
security.
You’ll
also need to protect the purchasing power of your money from currency
devaluation…
That
would mean getting specific assurance with physical gold and silver.
Gold
is a must-own asset through any financial crisis. Its value doesn’t depend on
the health of the U.S. or any other economy.
For
example, right after the financial crisis of 2008, gold soared from $732 to
nearly $1,837 an ounce making some people rich.
The
great thing is even if you store your gold locally, you can still participate
in the global economy regardless of economic conditions at home.
Again
these are simple steps you can take to safeguard your livelihood and grow your
wealth at the same time.
Your best
defense is to be prepared when everything comes crashing down…

How to
start a neighborhood barter club
Rather
than thinking about what they’ll need just today or this week, frugal people
consider what they’ll use in the next month or year. This often leads them to
stock up during big sales of nonperishable goods, such as toilet paper and dry
beans, rather than buying things when the urgent need arises. They’ll notice
that there are only four rolls of toilet paper left and add that to their list
for the warehouse club instead of waiting until they’re almost out, making an
emergency trip to the local corner store and paying three times as much per
roll.
The biggest problem – you guessed
it – is the debt-based paper money system. It requires endless, exponential
growth (because every dollar is created as a loan, payable with interest).
If
GDP isn’t growing enough to afford the interest payments, the system is
collapsing, and that pain is too significant for society to worry about plastic
straws in the ocean (or anything else).

Most of us see through the sham Democrat-Socialists are pulling w/ an impeachment hearing. Their effort is transparent & never-ending. Our entire family wrote letters to our elected reps telling them we DO NOT SUPPORT their effort. Further, we want Biden to be investigated. Consider doing the same w/ your reps.
Socialist-Dems have stepped up their efforts at Trump bashing & attempts at a Communist take-over of America. Most people can see through their never-ending coue attempts & frankly we're sick of them.
