He’s been positioning himself to take over Nancy Pelosi’s spot for some time. This is the bird to watch.

“Re-distribution” , I cannot stand that word. As if wealth was distributed by some cruel god and must be re-distributed to right the universe. No, this is a communist construct.

‘Redistribution of Wealth’ sounds bad. Dems need to be “the party that takes from the evil, greedy rich and gives to the poor and needy who have been discriminated against for decades and are unable to get an education or jobs because of the discrimination”.

Unfortunately the good-sounding description doesn’t fit on a bumper sticker. But they’re working on that.

You’re not “just that” Timmy

You’re also the party of ID politics: racism and sexism and bigotry against Whites, Asians, males, and Christians (and Jews, more and more so)

“I AM SpartaLee”

They are also the party of unchecked illegal immigration, globull warming (but then that is just another redistribution scheme), abortion on demand, destroying monuments, socialism, hate Trump and blame America.

The Bolsheviks wanted redistribution of wealth.
The Mensheviks were Bolsheviks that realized that capitalism was needed to create wealth to redistribute.
The former hated the latter for it.

Right, Timmy...your stealing from one group to give to the lazy and unlawful is just not enough to seal your majority

Even with the voter fraud tossed in

“Rep. Tim Ryan (D., Ohio) said Thursday that the Democratic Party is headed in the right direction after its November loss, but can no longer only be the ‘party of redistribution of wealth’.”

Yeah, just hold that thought, Timmy. I’m sure with Tom Perez at the helm there’ll be none of that redistribution stuff to sully the Dims’ message for 2018.

“We can’t just be the party of redistribution of wealth,” Ryan (D) said.

That is for the Bolshekrat Party. Oh, you are a Bolshekrat.

Looks good, Tim. Sounds good, Tim. But you are not redistribution of wealth.

You said your party can’t be “just about redistribution of wealth..”. You just want to be “friendlier toward business..” redistribution of wealth.

Thank you for referencing that article ForYourChildren. As usual, please note that the following critique is directed at the article and not at you.

"Tim Ryan: ‘We Can’t Just Be the Party of Redistribution of Wealth’"

FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument

Patriots are reminded that states have never expressly constitutionally delegated to the feds the specific power to tax and spend for wealth redistribution purposes. This is evidenced by the following clarifications of Congress’s limited power to tax and spend by previous generations of state sovereignty-respecting Supreme Court justices.

So with all due respect to Ohio FReepers, it shouldn’t be surprising if Rep. Ryan exploited low-information Ohio voters by promising them federal domestic spending programs in exchange for their votes, such voters probably never taught that, with very few exceptions like the US Mail Service (1.7.8), the feds don't have the constitutional authority establish such programs.

So if the good people of Ohio want wealth redistributed in their state then they need to make Rep. Tim Ryan a state lawmaker.

Otherwise, they need to send him home.

Also, although Pres. Trump is accomplishing a LOT as president, it remains that since the uniparty Congress wants to get rid of him that his first two years in office are arguably just practice. That being said ...

Drain the swamp sewer! Drain the sewer!

Remember in November 2018 !

Since corrupt Congress is the biggest part of the sewer (imo) that Trump wants to drain, it is actually up to patriots to drain the sewer in the 2018 elections, patriots supporting Trump by electing as many new members of Congress as they can who will support Trump.

In the meanwhile, patriots need to make sure that there are plenty of Trump-supporting candidates on the primary ballots.

Patriots need to qualify candidates by asking them why the Founding States made the Constitution’s Section 8 of Article I; to limit (cripple) the federal government’s powers.

Patriots also need to make sure that candidates are knowledgeable of the Supreme Court's clarifications of the federal government’s limited powers listed above.

Also, unlike incumbent members of Congress who wrongly remained silent while misguided state officials abridged the constitutionally enumerated rights of citizens during the lawless Obama Administration, patriots need to make sure that candidates on the 2018 primary ballots commit to the following.

Candidates need to commit to making and enforcing 14th Amendment-related laws to prosecute misguided state officials who use state powers to abridge constitutionally enumerated protections, 1st Amendment-protected religious expression and free speech for example, such actions prohibited by Section 1 of the 14th Amendment.

”14th Amendment, Section 1: All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States [emphasis added]; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.”

Again, drain the sewer! Drain the sewer!

Freedom Of Individual Enterprise

The Economic Dimension Of Liberty Protected By The Constitution

“Agriculture, manufactures, commerce, and navigation, the four pillars of our prosperity, are the most thriving when left most free to individual enterprise.” – Thomas Jefferson

“The enviable condition of the people of the United States is often too much ascribed to the physical advantages of their soil & climate …. But a just estimate of the happiness of our country will never overlook what belongs to the fertile activity of a free people and the benign influence of a responsible government.” – James Madison

America’s Constitution did not mention freedom of enterprise per se, but it did set up a system of laws to secure individual liberty and freedom of choice in keeping with Creator-endowed natural rights. Out of these, free enterprise flourished naturally. Even though the words “free enterprise’ are not in the Constitution, the concept was uppermost in the minds of the Founders, typified by the remarks of Jefferson and Madison as quoted above. Already, in 1787, Americans were enjoying the rewards of individual enterprise and free markets. Their dedication was to securing that freedom for posterity.

The learned men drafting America’s Constitution understood history – mankind’s struggle against poverty and government oppression. And they had studied the ideas of the great thinkers and philosophers. They were familiar with the near starvation of the early Jamestown settlers under a communal production and distribution system and Governor Bradford’s diary account of how all benefited after agreement that each family could do as it wished with the fruits of its own labors. Later, in 1776, Adam Smith’s INQUIRY INTO THE NATURE AND CAUSES OF THE WEALTH OF NATIONS and Say’s POLITICAL ECONOMY had come at just the right time and were perfectly compatible with the Founders’ own passion for individual liberty.

Jefferson said these were the best books to be had for forming governments based on principles of freedom. They saw a free market economy as the natural result of their ideal of liberty. They feared concentrations of power and the coercion that planners can use in planning other peoples lives; and they valued freedom of choice and acceptance of responsibility of the consequences of such choice as being the very essence of liberty. They envisioned a large and prosperous republic of free people, unhampered by government interference.

The Founders believed the American people, possessors of deeply rooted character and values, could prosper if left free to:

  • acquire and own property
  • have access to free markets
  • produce what they wanted
  • work for whom and at what they wanted
  • travel and live where they would choose
  • acquire goods and services which they desired

Such a free market economy was, to them, the natural result of liberty, carried out in the economic dimension of life. Their philosophy tend­ed to enlarge individual freedom – not to restrict or diminish the individual’s right to make choices and to succeed or fail based on those choices. The economic role of their Constitutional government was simply to secure rights and encourage commerce. Through the Constitution, they granted their government some very limited powers to:

Adam Smith called it “the system of natural liberty.” James Madison referred to it as “the benign influence of a responsible government.” Others have called it the free enterprise system. By whatever name it is called, the economic system envisioned by the Founders and encouraged by the Constitution allowed individual enterprise to flourish and triggered the greatest explosion of economic progress in all of history. Americans became the first people truly to realize the economic dimension of liberty.
