What are Progressive ideas?
Change Medicare into something no one recognizes by raiding $700,000 from its budget. Make sure people don’t return to the hospital by fining the hospital for returns.
Give everyone inferior health care and tell them someone else is going to pay for it. Tell them it will help the economy by lowering costs.
Regulate the oil companies so heavily it drives their business to China, Brazil and Venezuela so we have to depend on more foreign oil.
Tax the wealthiest, take their money; they don’t need so much. Progressives know better how it should be spent. Take it until they leave the United States and invest in jobs somewhere they can keep what they have earned.
Pass a law for every stupid thing someone has done to their self. Label hot coffee as hot so people won’t burn their self. Don’t mention the cost of the law so that people can’t judge if it really is worth it.
Put regulation on the producers of this country until they can no longer make a profit. Make them raise wages and ignore the fact that raising wages raises the cost of the basic necessities of life. Make people buy a more dangerous light bulb.
Give subsidies to industries that cannot compete in the marketplace. Ignore the fact they are unsustainable.
Buy up all the oil and coal producing land and drive up energy costs. Force people to buy expensive windmill energy and drive expensive battery-powered cars.
Pump as much money into public education as you can print. Ignore that our students are still not able to compete. Don’t give parents a choice; force them into a school of our choice.
Allocate more money for higher education and drive the cost of tuition up.
Give people money to research every cockamamie idea they have without risking anything of their own.
Are Progressive ideas good for America? No, but followers say “We know better.”
A lot of this letter has been done tongue in cheek. But seriously, what this election comes down to is between freedom and tyranny. We have a choice between those who want to control every aspect of our lives and those who believe we are responsible to make our own decisions. Progressives/Democrats want to control everything from what we drive to how much pop we drink. I just want the freedom to be able to make my own decisions. Pence, Mourdock and Stutzman give me a better chance to do it.
