Economic Freedom "Dis-Unifying" America
The latest "Rich States, Poor States" report from the American Legislative Exchange Council shows that Republican-led red states are in better economic condition than Democrat-led blue states. Co-author Steven Moore called the data "powerful evidence that the low tax, light regulation states are outperforming the high tax, heavy regulation states. It should surprise no one that folks are migrating out of the blue states and into the red states."
Presidential Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre didn't dispute the statistics, but called the trend "unfair and dis-unifying. The President is appalled that some states prey upon the population of other states by offering a better way of life when they should be sending their surplus wealth to help support the larger dependent populations of the blue states. States like California and New York are fighting for racial and economic justice. It is a moral obligation for those who are better off to chip in whatever they can to assist in this fight."
She went on to denounce "those who blindly worship individual prosperity rather than human solidarity. The President has frequently expressed to me his admiration of the social society of the bees. There are no individuals striving to out-compete their peers. All cooperate in unselfish toil for the good of the whole. He wishes he could magically induce every American to follow his vision of a transformed humanity and is dismayed that the model behavior of his son Hunter's efforts toward this goal are not properly appreciated by the enemies of our democracy. Fortunately, Biden-loyalists like Tony Blinken have so far been able to thwart Republican efforts to crucify Hunter on a series of manufactured allegations."
Rep. Andy Biggs (R-Az) offered his opinion that "the vast majority of Americans would be appalled at the President's vision of himself as a sort of 'queen bee' living off the productivity of hard-working people. The schemes of his son and other relatives to divert more money into their own pockets add nothing of value to the economy. The aid of Blinken in concealing these schemes is not 'fortunate.' It abets criminal behavior."
