What If – Part XIV – The Final Chapter

The Final Chapter

GOOD v EVIL

     Political promises are generally just that. Promises.  In 1928 Hoover promised… “A chicken in every pot and two cars in every garage”.  We are facing something entirely different. It’s one of the true things Justice Alito has said. Paraphrasing: “It’s us against them.” He’s on the side of the ultra-rich Federalist Society and Mr. Leo and his billionaire friends.  He is NOT out there looking after the other side, namely the middle-class average American.  At the Supreme Court level significant damage has already been done in granting the President immunity and stripping Federal Agencies of their regulatory powers. We had better hope to be able to fix it. It’s truly “Good against Evil.”.

      This election has never been clearer. It’s the Harris promise of a better brighter future and the Trump promise of retribution, vindictiveness and hate. It’s free lunch for the kids at school verses doing away with the Department of Education. It’s giving women the “right to choose” verses total severe federal anti-abortion laws. It’s clean air and water verses doing away with the Environmental Protection Agency. It’s preserving our parks and forests, verses “drill baby drill.”  It’s the super-rich verses the middle class. Did you know that the estate inheritance tax and the gift tax each used to have an exemption of $300,000.00? Now they have an exemption of $13,610,000.00. or $27,220,000.00 per married couple. That means that the rich get to compound their wealth each generation. Also, there are many loopholes allowing even more money than those enormous exemptions which were engineered by the wealthy at the expense of the middle class. Face it. The ultra rich are not interested in helping you attain the “American Dream.”

     The National debt went up over Eight Trillion Dollars ($8,000,000,000,000.00) under the past Trump Administration.  The tax reductions to the rich were primarily the cause. The huge corporations haven’t paid their fair share of taxes for many years.  Harris would make them responsible. Your taxes might go down if they paid their taxes.

      We are facing religion being thrust upon us in our government. A Trump administration would have compulsory Christian Protestant prayer and the teaching of “creationism” in privatized schools. A Harris administration would encourage the public school system, preserve separation of church and state and the teaching of “evolution.”

     The Supreme Court has helped MAGA keep the black students in Black schools with lesser funding and standards and has reduced the educational opportunities for the average Black student. This tilts the employment picture against the Blacks and keeps them in an economic vise. A Harris victory will set the stage for a vast economic improvement for the Black Community.

     In foreign policy with Mr. Trump, we are faced with being seen as Putin’s helpful crony as opposed to being the leader of the Free World.

     In health care we are looking at the destruction of our system of Medicare, Medicaid, and Obamacare and allowing a money grabbing, feeding frenzy by the large insurance companies and the greedy drug companies driving medical care and many medications out of economic range for the average American family. By the way you should know that immigrants paid in over seventy-two billion dollars ($72,000,000,000.00) into Social Security last year and do not qualify to receive any benefit from it.  Further, they paid four hundred and ninety-two billion dollars ($492,000,000,000.00) in taxes in 2022 and undocumented immigrants paid $96.7 Billion. They don’t deserve to be treated as criminals.  A Harris administration would never reduce Social Security benefits, but a Trump administration is planning to do just that.

     The Supreme Court has helped the MAGA cause by showing us the road to legitimizing bribes by teaching us that if the pay-off occurs after the corrupt act is done, then it’s merely a tax free “tip” and not a bribe. There’s going to be a great deal of “tipping” in order to get the government to function in a Trump administration. We are going to have our hands full straightening this out.

     The Jewish Community, small as it is, had better realize that by supporting Mr. Trump, they are creeping into bed with neo -Nazi Anti-Semites and Holocaust Deniers!

     Finally, what about integrity, honesty and ethics? Do you want our President to be an alleged rapist? An admitted “groper” of women?  An adulterer?  A liar? A communist sympathizer?  A casino operator who filed many bankruptcies? A person who defrauded students in a defunct university?  A supporter of Putin’s corrupt regime?  A pal of the world’s dictators?  An alleged draft dodger who insults our war heroes?  A convicted felon who is facing more criminal charges?  Is this the man you would want to bring home for dinner to meet your family, no less run the country? Is this the man you want in charge of our nuclear arsenal?

We started this series of articles by discussing the oath of office, which is to Support and Defend the Constitution of the United States. Remember, your Vote is your Voice. If you are true patriot, you will help us preserve the Constitution by voting on November 5th.  

GOD BLESS OUR WAR HEROES AND GOD BLESS AMERICA!
