America's Survival

If it hadn't been for the victories Biden had on Super Tuesday, it looked like Sanders was going to be a sure shot to be the Democrat candidate for President. He may still be Trump's opponent this fall.  

The common theme Democrats have is the removal of Trump as president. When I listen to many of them, you would think America is suffering from another great depression. We have a great economy with low inflation, low unemployment, and fewer regulations which helps our economy to perform better. We are also energy independent which means we are less dependent on Middle East oil and gas. But Democrats want to change all that. Why? Why would I vote for a candidate that opposes a successful America?

Russia would love to have an economy like ours and desires to have chaos reign in America. So far, the Democrats are helping Putin do that. He has to compete with America for natural gas contracts in Europe and elsewhere. The Democrats running for president want to have the green new deal which will make us energy dependent like Russia wants for quite awhile. And if there is Medicare for all, the system will go bankrupt quicker, which means people will die that might have lived longer if the system hadn't been emptied of funds like Sanders would do. And if $15 an hour becomes minimum wage, other wages will be raised which will increase inflation and make the cost of living rise. Jobs will be lost and Social Security will eventually need more funds or else retirees will be given less.

Bernie Sanders' promises will cost us so much money that the stock market will collapse and our economy could be destroyed. If he thinks raising taxes on the rich will pay for his programs, he should read American history and why the Great Depression was so bad. The Democrats convinced President Hoover to raise income tax levels to around 90% on the richest Americans on the top amounts they earned and there wasn't enough money for the programs. Things got worst. Does Bernie Sanders want another even greater depression which will cause riots in the streets and the collapse of our economy and society? I know Putin would love for that to happen.  

Biden thinks that Americans want things to be like they were when he was vice president able to make shady deals with other nations and Obama was allowed to be corrupt at times. Obama used the IRS to shut down speech against him and cared more about his image than about most Americans. Trump didn't divide America. That was done while Obama was president.

Trump warned America about the danger of treating China like an economic friend. The coronavirus from China hurt our economy because companies that should have been here were there. Voting against Trump is voting against America.
