Joe Biden says he is going to increase taxes on corporations and billionaires in order to cut the federal deficit by three trillion dollars. He promised in his campaign reelection speech, disguised as a State of the Union address, that nobody making under $400,000 will pay a cent more in taxes. Since the speech, however, his cabinet members have been selling increased government spending and redistribution of wealth—total socialism.

This is a shell game being well-played by Biden and his gang. Tell Americans there will be only tax increases on corporations and the wealthy. Tell Americans there will be “investments” by the government, meaning increases in government spending at taxpayer expense.

Biden said in his speech,

“I signed a bipartisan deal to cut another trillion dollars in the next decade. It’s my goal to cut the federal deficit another $3 trillion by making big corporations and the very wealthy finally begin to pay their fair share. Look, I’m a capitalist. If you want to make or can make a million or millions of bucks, that’s great. Just pay your fair share in taxes. A fair tax code is how we invest in things that make this country great: healthcare, education, defense, and so much more…. It’s time to raise the corporate minimum tax to at least 21 percent–so every big corporation finally begins to pay their fair share.”

But Biden’s White House Council of Economic Advisers member Heather Boushey is saying all those new taxes will go to government spending increases, and she is outlining a blatant Marxist plan to do it.

On March 8’s Bloomberg “Balance of Power,” Boushey said,

“We need to make sure that the federal government has the resources that it needs to be able to do the things that it needs to do. And one of the priorities that the President is focused on is making sure that the Internal Revenue Service has the resources they need to literally enforce the laws on the books, let alone the new ideas that the President is bringing to the table…. Businesses have a lot of resources; we’ve also given them a lot of subsidies and supports to go out there and invest. So, we’re seeing this investment boom at the same time that we’ve been focusing on making sure that we’re enforcing the laws and raising taxes on, as the President likes to say, wealth and not work.”

She concluded:

“So, I remain convinced that if government has the resources that they need to do their job and businesses focus on investing in those industries that are so important to American competitiveness and American jobs and workers, we will continue to see that kind of economic growth.”

This is nothing short of a form of communism. Raise taxes. Increase government spending. Call it “investment.” Redistribute wealth. You want a job, you will bow to the gods of government, which take all and give little. It is alarming to see how fast freedom is handed over to tyranny and how little resistance there is to putting shackles on America.

Galatians 5:1 says, “Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ has made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.”

God is a God of freedom. Don’t take it for granted.

To be perfectly clear: this Daily Jot is not meant to disrespect or demonize members of a political party. It is intended to expose what the leadership of that party historically has done and is doing. If you are a member of this party or only vote for candidates of this party, you might want to consider the truth of the party leadership and the intent of their actions.

The Democratic Party has, for the better part of its existence, disenfranchised and suppressed votes—while at the same time accused its opponents of the very same. You will hear a lot from Joe Biden and his party leadership about how their opponents are trying to destroy democracy by disenfranchising voters, but look at their very public actions for the truth.

Attorney General Merrick Garland recently pointed to the history of voter suppression after the Civil War, implying it was others, not the Democratic Party, who took violent action against Black Americans to prevent them from voting. And yet today, he claims that ensuring that only eligible voters utilize mail-in votes, banning ballot-stuffing as in the use of drop boxes, and requiring voter identification to prove you are who you say you are, are all efforts to disenfranchise and suppress voting. Garland ignores that there are Constitutional requirements outlining eligibility of voters.

By blocking all accountability on voting eligibility, the Democratic Party is disenfranchising the vote of qualified voters.

Garland wants to recall the Civil War, but it was an organized political effort by the Democratic Party to disenfranchise Black Americans with Jim Crow laws after the Civil War. For over 100 years, from 1865 to the late 1960s, these laws oppressed black voting and mandated segregation of public schools, public places, public transportation, housing, restrooms, drinking fountains, and restaurants. Many residuals of these laws still remain. Jim Crow Laws allowed arresting Blacks for the smallest of crimes to be incarcerated to hard labor and would never be allowed to vote, thus perpetuating a form of slavery.

These laws began to be deconstructed with the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965, although these reforms were opposed by Democrats at all levels of government well into the 1970s.

Democratic Party leadership says that every vote should count and that their opponents are destroying democracy. Think about how the Democratic Party is working overtime to remove Donald Trump from the ballot. Democrat-controlled Kangaroo courts have fined him, prohibited his businesses, and twisted laws to convict him. They even used their state officeholders to illegally remove him from the ballot—all in the name of protecting democracy. But really, they are saying, “You will vote for the candidate we choose.” That is tyrannical disenfranchisement of the right to vote.

Romans 2:1 says this is inexcusable, “For in whatever you judge another you condemn yourself; for you who judge practice the same things.”

And you know, it’s not just Trump that they are after. Anyone who doesn’t fall in line is the ultimate target.
