If you want a preview of America under hillary, look no farther than the rapidly crumbling state of Michigan.

The communist governor has brought us -

1) the highest unemployment rate in the country.

2) New taxes.

3) A rapidly declining realty market.

4) A hostile business environment.

5) Taxes disguised as “fees.”

6) Quarter after quarter of negative growth.

7) The seizure of wealth from productive communities and its re-distribution to welfare bums, thieving bureaucrats and crooked poiticians in big liberal cities.

“Oh...But.....It’s time for a woman to be President!” I suppose if you’re stupid enough to think this and are one of life’s low achievers then Hillary will see that you get more stuff...from your neighbor ....who has no choice in the matter.

My question is why do so many rich people support her?

Additional insights into how Hillary might govern can be seen in New York State. Taxes are much higher than most other states and the population has been dwindling for several years because new jobs aren’t created where government is not supportive of business or workers. For the few jobs that are available, salaries are low. Although as President, new taxes will generally hit people in all states, keep in mind that our economy is more globally interdependent than ever before and new taxes will place a burden on the backs of Americans trying to sell goods at a price that is competitive in a global marketplace. For example, if I am making a refrigerator in the US and must sell it at the globally competitive price, higher soc security tax rates that raise my labor costs must be compensated by reducing other costs of production. This means using less labor, offshoring, automating, but can’t mean cheapening the materials or quality of the product because non-US competitors can match that approach and still produce at a lower labor cost.

Look at the manufacturing town of Buffalo New York to see how that plays out. New York City, where many socialist votes and candidates live in symbiotic harmony, is a financial center where high wages are linked to a unique but not easily reproduced economy. Over-regulation and taxation may result in NYC being replaced by London as the financial center of the world. The high tax and high cost environment of NYC may make a socialist think high taxes and costs can be introduced nationwide but a look at New York State outside NYC should quell that notion. Buffalo is a town of faded manufacturing companies and hasn’t experienced the infusion of new technology businesses you see in many places outside New York state.
