The Shootings

The Shootings

Boy, you are all over the map today. You even get a few things right!

“This is how Trump won.

Oh come on, don’t point to racism or some other b.s., the guy won because he was new and different and promised to upset the apple cart. What did the Democrats offer? The status quo.”

But the rest of your “music and entertainment blog” post is just random and a little bit crazy.

“Nobody can sacrifice in America. Screw the greater good, I’ve got mine and you’re on your own.”  

Seriously? Taxpayers hand over more than a TRILLION dollars every year to help those in need – and I support that – but for Bob Lefsetz that equals “nobody can sacrifice in America”!

From the liberal New York Times:

“Each year, American taxpayers spend nearly $1 trillion trying to help the poor, according to a recent study by the Cato Institute.” 

The Wrong Way to Help the Poor

And exactly who ARE those taxpayers? The top 20% of all income earners pay 84% of all income taxes while the bottom 49% pay NOTHING. The wealthy are sacrificing a LOT to help the poor, and they should. You have no idea what you are talking about. You are uninformed and virtue signaling to people who never subscribed to your newsletter to read your hateful nonsense.

“And then there are the hunters. Okay, it’s a sport. But if the NFL instituted new rules to cut down on CTE, can’t we have new rules re gun ownership and hunting? Guns should go the way of the NFL.”  

Such looney tune nonsense… 

There are NO Constitutional amendments pertaining to football and the NFL.

Perhaps we should outlaw all guns the way we have drugs. How has that worked out? More federal oversight, more laws, more background checks…

The FBI did 26,181,936 firearms background checks in 2018. These shooters are CRAZY people and often times they acquired their weapons legally. But here’s a great Lefsetz idea:

“The best solution for this is Chris Rock’s, make the bullets damn expensive. Say a thousand bucks.”  

That will sure slow down or stop all of the law-abiding citizens who want to exercise their second amendment rights.  But are you so naive to think that criminals and terrorists and nut jobs will not find a way to purchased cheap ammunition elsewhere?

“And instead of all the tax cuts for corporations and the rich, why not put it towards mental health problems, the homeless problem, try to pull these people up from the bottom.”  

From the above New York Times report:

“In April, Michael D. Tanner, a senior fellow at Cato, a libertarian research group, compiled a list of 126 federal programs for low-income Americans, which together spend $668 billion of taxpayer money annually. State and local governments allocate an additional $284 billion, he estimated.”  

You are uneducated and ignorant. Do your homework and research the facts before you launch into another Social Justice Warrior rant.

You gnash your teeth over the homeless and blame the Republicans:

“The Republicans keep on pointing at bogeymen, it’s always somebody else’s fault. And they play offense and the Democrats play defense and as soon as someone goes on offense, they’re a pariah and must be shouted down.”

But where in the U.S. are the most homeless people? On the streets of Los Angeles and San Francisco – the most Democrat state in the nation.

The numbers are in: SF homeless population rose 30% since 2017

“Like Republicans with abortions, guns should be hard to get.” 

Guns ARE hard to get – you simply do not know what you are talking about.

I don’t know why you feel a need to believe in Rihanna, but try believing in the United States Constitution!

And believe THIS:

Your music blog subscribers did not sign up to read your weekly left coast liberal rants promoting AOC, crazy Bernie and Elizabeth Warren while attacking and insulting Republicans, conservatives and President Trump.

You think you are morally and intellectually superior to those of us in flyover country? That’s your right – so start a political blog and let your progressive freak flag fly.

But you won’t – because you know only a few hippies in California would subscribe. Such blatant hypocrisy!
