So true. You know my choice.

The Trump administration’s pro-growth economic policies of the last two years, including tax reform, have led to the private sector economy doing quite well across the board. Unemployment rates are at record lows. Even wages, after a decade of stagnation, are rising.
Despite this obvious success, there are new calls from the left to hike top tax rates to 70% or more - despite record government tax collections. Meanwhile, Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., has decided it’s time to re-trot his socialist-style claimthat the rich are frolicking at the expense of the poor.
Sanders and the like, however, must have amnesia. They forget that decades of ever larger government culminated in little to no economic growth under the Obama administration, and swelling government assistance roles that resulted in record Social Security disability claims. They are also dangerously stoking the flames of class-warfare to the detriment of every aspect of America.
There was a time when a growing economy satisfied nearly all. Presidents and voters alike actually wanted people to work – through different methods, yes, but the goal was “full employment.” James Carville famously said of an earlier time, “It’s the economy, stupid.”
So, if the economy is doing so well since President Trump began cutting taxes and eliminating regulations, why is there such discontent and calls from the left for a massive expansion of government and huge tax increases?
The short answer is that many Democrats no longer care about the private sector. They get elected by demanding that government secure incomes, health care and standards of living. The focus of their actions is to further strengthen the power of government. They simply don’t agree with James Carville anymore -- or Ronald Reagan when he said the best social program is a job.
