Reflections From a Murky Pond

Fairly recently during an interview with BET, Joy Reid warned her Black viewers with a surfeit of anger, horror, and outrage that “people on the right” – that’d be true-born and rightly-raised Americans – want to “go back” to when there was no income tax and no regulations upon business, to when Americans could earn as much many as we wanted and leave 100% to a children. Oh yeah! And we’re racist and White Supremacists for wanting that… or we want that because we’re racist and White Supremacists.

And, of course, she added in the Democrat shibboleth of President Trump and we, his 70+ million supporters, being Fascists. That’s, however, almost not noteworthy since Dems seem to be required by their dogma to call us Nazis and/or Fascists during every screed.

All that being said, she’s not entirely wrong. Most Americans would love to eliminate or greatly reduce federal income taxes. Many of us would similarly love to eliminate or reduce state income taxes. And, all of us who have children would absolutely love the total elimination of Inheritance Taxes so that we could, in fact, leave 100% of our wealth to our descendants.

Also, a majority of us realize that the elimination or significant reduction in income tax won’t eliminate our tax burdens as much as many – apparently, including Reid – might think. In all probability, income tax would be partially replaced by specific levies for specific purposes, e.g., roads, public services, and actual national defense. But, since such levies would need to be voted for, we would have a bit more say in how our tax monies were spent… like we used to before 1933.

Reid’s a bit off with her accusation that we want to return to the time when there were no restrictions on business. What most of us would love is a reduction in many business regulations, especially in all manufacturing sectors, a sanity check for those regulations, and the elimination of punitive regulations meant to stifle certain industries. Americans also want to end Regulatory Capture, which is partially responsible for the inconsistent and twisted set of regulations that our businesses are burdened with today.

In point of fact – yeah, not something that sits well with things like Reid – a majority of “people on the right” want more, stricter, and stronger regulations on the banking and finance industry, especially the Derivatives Market. The insanity that is the new Rent-Backed Securities (RBS) is something that we who understand such things even a little hate at least as much as the Democrats do.

So, for the most part, Reid is right. Americans want to return to a time when we weren’t taxed and regulated into economic mediocrity, and absolutely want to be able to leave all of our wealth to our children if we choose to do so, instead of the government seizing a portion of it when we die.

The fact that Reid felt the need to state this as a dire warning couched in racism and White Supremacy says a great deal more about her, her audience, and the Blacks than it does the American people.

Another Climate Week NYC, the annual global climate circus and circle jerk, where up to 85,000 virtue-signaling, left-wing elites flocked to Manhattan, has recently ended… at an estimated “cost” of 120,000 tons of CO2 being added to the atmosphere – about the same as 16,000 American homes over an entire year or the annual greenhouse gas emissions from roughly 26,000 gasoline-powered passenger vehicle.

All that so that these elites could tell us normal people that we shouldn’t be eating meat or flying so often – except to climate events, apparently, that we should be forced to buy expensive electric cars, and that we must subsidize wind and solar despite our skyrocketing electricity prices. They’re even now saying that dogs are bad for the climate.

Trannies and their enablers are, like almost every other sort of nonnormative or culturally exilic group in America, backassward as usual. Trans Rights aren’t Human Rights. Human Rights are Trans Rights.

The Word Order Matters

Yes, the word order matters. It matters a great deal. While to many “Trans rights are human rights” and “Human rights are Trans rights” seem to say the same thing, this is not actually the case. The order of application is reversed between the two and that matters more than most people believe. And, that’s a deliberate corruption of the language by the manipulative grifters who created and first promulgated the phrase, “Trans rights are human rights.”

It’s all a cynical and sick ploy to convince people to believe that anything the “Trans Community” wants is both a right and a basic human right. But the truth is that Trannies have the same basic human rights as any other human being and nothing other or more than them.

And, here’s a little fact: If you’re supposed right requires the positive actions of another person, it’s not a right at all.

That’s the actual truth. China ignores Climate Change because China doesn’t fear Climate Change since they already have what most people still think of as a Communist government. And their lack of fear is sensible and right since there has never been a single piece of Climate Change legislation, treaties, or anything that didn’t explicitly exempt China from inclusion or enforcement. And this is despite the fact that China is the largest “climate polluter,” making up approximately 30% of global emissions, more than the combined output of American and European Union as a whole.

But titularly Communist nations like China and the various Socialist nations – admittedly, most of them are “Developing” nations – always seem to get a pass when it to anyone’s, especially the UN’s, anti-AGW efforts. This is because reversing or mitigating Climate Change has never been the primary point of Climate Activism at the geopolitical level. It’s always been about wealth redistribution and lowering Western people’s living standards in order to combat “income inequality.” It’s always been about Global Socialism as a pathway to eventual Global Communism.

Those of you who believe in Climate Change as it has been presented – a hoax-in-detail can still be true in broader context – should really be much, much more pissed off at this than the rest of us. Your fears are the ones being manipulated in order to achieve something other than the salvation you believe they’re striving for. Really! You’re trying to save the planet, even if it means great sacrifice, and the politicians and global agencies you’re supporting are trying to further an economic agenda instead of an environmental one. You should be so pissed off about that.

Think about it. What’s the best alternative? That they’re not trying for wealth redistribution, but are merely exempting China, a resource and manufacturing powerhouse, so that Western nations can outsource their emissions there, thereby lowering their numbers and meeting their emission goals?

Oh yeah; Ukraine’s Volodymyr Zelenskyy has made far, far, far money as an actor than Tom Cruise has made or has any chance of ever making. Zelenskyy has made approximately $70 billion off the US alone thanks to his acting skills and his Democrat fanbase.
