American Consequences - May 2021

AMTRAK JOE: NEXT STOP, NOWHERE

And the Biden administration’s absurd, contradictory, anti-science messaging around what the vaccinated can do normally again has given a tremendous boost to vaccine hesitancy. A TAXING PRESIDENCY They haven’t gone up yet, but they will . That’s a promise everyone expects Biden to keep, and Republicans can’t do much more than complain about it to the public and hope for the best in the mid-term elections. Democrats can use the reconciliation process in Congress to make the tax changes they want. There’s no way to block this, unless some in their own party get cold feet. What will these tax hikes look like? Biden’s Address to a Joint Session of Congress on April 28 was as forgettable as political theater, but instructive about the intention of this White House to make people “pay their fair share.” Biden told the American people that taxes on high earners, corporations, and capital gains will be raised, saying... We’re going to get rid of the loopholes that allow Americans who make more than $1 million a year pay a lower rate on their capital gains than working Americans pay on their work. This will only affect three tenths of 1% of all Americans. And the IRS will crack down on millionaires and billionaires who cheat on their taxes. That’s estimated to be billions of dollars. That last part about the IRS definitely raised some eyebrows... Anytime a Democrat talks

has done since taking office more than 120 days ago and what he’s likely to do next. You’ll notice it’s quite light on actual accomplishments attributable to his leadership or decision-making, and there are some warning signs flashing about a weakening economy, inflation, and unemployment.

OPERATIONWARP-SPEED BENEFICIARY

Biden took office in an enviable position when it comes to the COVID pandemic. Whereas Trump was pushed into supporting the worthless lockdowns and absurd interventions of Fauciism while there was maximum virus panic... and Biden got to take charge when a vaccine was already in national distribution. Nationwide deaths and hospitalizations have been plummeting for months. Biden’s proponents will point to his distribution of the vaccine – more than 340 million doses and counting – in his first few months, and this of course isn’t a minor achievement... (though it’s not clear how he did anything other than continue the plans Trump put in place before him). Remember, it was Trump’s Operation Warp Speed and the geniuses of (the oft-maligned) Big Pharma who actually created the near- miraculous mRNA vaccines that are ending this pandemic. Biden’s continued obsession with mask wearing – including while alone, outside, as a fully vaccinated person – has been a window into the cultish mindset of the Lockdown Left.
