Elizabeth Warren’s Batty Plan to Nationalize . . . Everything

Are the Dems trying to out-left each other?

Wholesale seizure and control of private property? With 2020 in her sights, Warren woos the hard Left.

 

Senator Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts has one-upped socialists Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez: She proposes to nationalize every major business in the United States of America. If successful, it would constitute the largest seizure of private property in human history.

Warren’s proposal is dishonestly called the “Accountable Capitalism Act.” Accountable to whom? you might ask. That’s a reasonable question. The answer is — as it always is — accountable to politicians, who desire to put the assets and productivity of private businesses under political discipline for their own selfish ends. It is remarkable that people who are most keenly attuned to the self-interest of CEOs and shareholders and the ways in which that self-interest influences their decisions apparently believe that members of the House, senators, presidents, regulators, Cabinet secretaries, and agency chiefs somehow are liberated from self-interest when they take office through some kind of miracle of transcendence.

Under Senator Warren’s proposal, no business with more than $1 billion in revenue would be permitted to legally operate without permission from the federal government. The federal government would then dictate to these businesses the composition of their boards, the details of internal corporate governance, compensation practices, personnel policies, and much more. Naturally, their political activities would be restricted, too. Senator Warren’s proposal entails the wholesale expropriation of private enterprise in the United States, and nothing less. It is unconstitutional, unethical, immoral, irresponsible, and — not to put too fine a point on it — utterly bonkers.

Another article on the same topic.  This one also contains a link to the VOX analysis that absolutely raves about this bill proposal.

Yeah let's have government control over every business. It works so well in China. For all the generals and communist party officials anyways. Doesn't work so well for the workers or anyone else for that matter. If these people love the communist Chinese model so much why don't they just go live there and stop trying to destroy our country?

Or that failed state formerly known as the U.S.S.R.

 

The first article is probably right on that this, much like the abolish ICE proposal in the House, a political stunt.  I am just surprised at how far left these elected Dems are will to go.

Republican platform for 2018:

 

-Make America great again

-Cut taxes for working class families

-Bring back jobs and have competitive trade policies

-Secure the border

 

Democrat platform for 2018:

 

-America was never great

-Raise taxes across the board

-Who needs jobs when we have welfare and we should appease the communist Chinese

-Wide open borders

 

Is anyone really going to be all that surprised when the Democrats lose miserably in the mid terms?

-Install Hillary as the rightful President

There are some on the far left posing as learnered political pundits that are advocating tearing up the Constitution.

When I think of the face of the Democratic party I see Elizabeth Warren, Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Shumer, Maxine Waters, and now Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. 🤮

We should take a poll regarding which one elicits the most (spontaneous) gagging.
