Tax Cheats and Thieves

The Libranos 3 Comments

The Standing Committee on Finance is meeting this morning about the proposed changes to the tax system. We should probably just use the working name: The Bill to finally break the middle class and call everyone who doesn’t work for the government or large corporations thieves.
MP Pierre Poilievre and CPAC will be streaming the hearings live here.

Victor Davis Hanson has just published a superb column on the collective aims of Leftists across America:

The old liberal idea that the new demography is progressive destiny did not work out as planned. When the Blue Wall crumbled; Hillary Clinton lost a sure-thing election. Large Latino populations in red Texas and blue California are not likely to turn either one into a swing state. Inner-city voters so far have not transferred prior record levels of turn-out and bloc voting to candidates of the Hillary Clinton sort. Identity politics did not ensure that the white liberals who created it were always exempt from the natural boomerang of their own ideology.
Most Americans are quite willing to concede spheres of partisanship — but not lawlessness. Some colleges, such as Evergreen State or UC Berkeley, while public and tax-supported, are, by definition, leftist in the manner that a private Hillsdale College or Saint Thomas Aquinas are traditionalist and conservative. But whereas the latter are calm and tolerant of dissent; the former, with public monies, are hysterical and often Stalinist when confronted by opposing views. That disconnect is unsustainable.

How deep Señor Maduro?

Great Moments In Socialism 21 Comments

Socialism isn’t the problem. People wanting to eat is the problem.

A survey by a top university found the average Venezuelan has lost nine kilogrammes in the past year.
Many families are now forced to scavenge for food in what was once South America’s richest country.
At a soup kitchen run by the Catholic Church in Caracas, there are rarely any leftovers. It only serves 100 children every day, so the kitchen, which runs on donations, is forced to turn people away.
“Every day, more children come. Our crisis is such that, as they say, shame has been forgotten,” Judith Arcia, a cook at the soup kitchen told Al Jazeera.
“People would rather beg for a plate of food for their children, than watch them go hungry.”

The world needs more Hungary;

[…] speaking at a press conference in Warsaw alongside Polish prime minister Beata Szydlo, Mr Orban said that Poland and Hungary would not change tack.
“We accept that some countries have become immigrant countries. But we don’t want to be [like] them and we want them to accept this. But they want us to become like them. We don’t want a mixed population, as has been created in the countries to the west of us. We are looking for different solutions and please respect it,” he said.
The outspoken Hungarian premier also took the EU to task for its criticism of Poland over the ruling Law and Justice party’s contentious attempts to overhaul the judicial system, which critics fret will undermine Polish democracy.
“The EU cannot threaten Poland and question its rule of law. This is a lack of respect. It looks like an inquisition. There is no place for a political inquisition in the EU. Hungary won’t support it,” he said.
