The Petulant Child Form of Democracy

Over the past four years, the Democrats have demonstrated to taxpayers and voters that their party monicker has no meaning beyond its capacity to distinguish them from Republicans. Hence, we must observe what Democrats do to discern what they stand for and who they stand with.

From what I’ve seen, Democrats stand with the federal bureaucracy and public employee unions against the taxpayers and voters who would like to shed their regulatory bonds and fiscal burdens. What is more, Democrats will continue this stance regardless of ballot outcomes. Therefore, the Democrats have proved to me that they do not represent the people or me. Instead, Democrats represent the powerful and entirely self-interested constituencies they’ve created with our tax dollars.

We taxpayers and voters are the Democrats’ fiscal prey, and they will continue to exsanguinate us until we drive them from us into the political wilderness.
