Power with Control

Most idiotic quote, and of course its from someone in the UK.... this notion that since the govt pays, then nobody is paying, when in fact everyone is paying. This story also mentions that Bidens plan includes subusdies and research into grid storage. Why the hell would you do that, when market forces are already driving that tech, there are grid storage projects everywhere. Same for solar and wind. Let the market decide where they work, dont let the subsidy drive the installation of poorly thought out and designed systems.

EVs are already getting into everyday life, and manufacturers are going to deliver less expensive options as people see the benefits, no need to subsidize them anymore.

Biden’s proposals, if enacted, should change consumer behavior without adding to consumers’ direct cost for electricity and cars, according to Matt Breidert, a London-based portfolio manager for the investment firm Ecofin.

“Nobody is going to pay for it,” said Breidert. Because the cost of producing green electricity and electric vehicles is falling, “you’re not going to have to pay for it,” he added.

Biden Will Create Court Reform Commission, Options Go ‘Well Beyond’ Court Packing

When asked by CBS News if Biden’s proposed national commission will “study this issue about whether to pack the court,” Biden said, “No, whether — there’s a number of alternatives that are — go well beyond packing.”

When asked if “this is a live ball,” Biden responded, “Oh, it is a live ball. No, it is a live ball.”

“We’re going to have to do that. And you’re going to find there’s a lot of conservative constitutional scholars who are saying it, as well,” Biden claimed. “The last thing we need to do is turn the Supreme Court into just a political football, whoever has the most votes gets whatever they want. Presidents come and go. Supreme Court justices stay for generations.”

The majority of Americans oppose court-packing in response to President Donald Trump nominating Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court, according to a left-leaning poll released this week.

“A majority of Americans oppose calls for Democrats to ‘pack’ the Supreme Court with additional justices if Republican succeed in confirming Amy Coney Barrett and Joe Biden wins the presidency, according to a recent poll of likely voters,” Fox News reported. “Among likely voters, 58% said Democrats should not look to increase the size of the Supreme Court, according to the results of a poll conducted from Oct.15-18 by The New York Times and Siena College. Just 31% said they were in favor of court-packing, while 11% of responders were undecided.”

Joe Biden's Justification for Raising the Minimum Wage Is Bizarre



During the last presidential debate, moderator Kristen Welker asked Joe Biden and President Trump about raising the minimum wage to $15. This is a pure giveaway to unions in the service industry. As their employees are replaced with technology, it is a way for them to maintain their dues, which they then donate to Democrats. It is a cute little parasitic relationship.

Biden answered first and gave the strangest answer ever to justify supporting a minimum wage hike:

Welker: We are hearing a lot about struggling small businesses and business owners these days. Do you think this is the right time to ask them to raise the minimum wage? You of course support a $15 minimum wage.
Biden: I do. Because I think one of the things we’re going to have to do is we’re going to have to bail them out too. We should be bailing them out now. Those small businesses. You’ve got one in six of them going under. They are not going to be able to make it back. They passed a package that allows us to be able to give PPP. The money is supposed to go to help them do everything from organize how they can deal with their businesses being open safely, schools, how they can make classrooms smaller, how they can hire more teachers, how they can put ventilation systems in. They need the help. The businesses as well as the schools need the help. But these guys (gestures towards President Trump) will not help them. He’s not giving them any of the money.

Excuse me? The most generous interpretation of this answer is that Joe Biden believes we should use taxpayer dollars to fund small business owners so they can pay their employees more. A less generous answer is that he was answering the completely wrong question.

I really dont think people understand that Joe is the unions creature, bought and paid for. He will take NO action involving them that they don't approve of.

Biden: OK to Frack for Natural Gas—Not OK to Burn It

Joe Biden wants a counter-revolution, but he does not want you to know about it.

Candidate Joe Biden has sent mixed messages. During the primary debates, Biden and his running mate, Sen. Kamala Harris, said they supported a fracking ban. Their campaign, however, insists that the Biden plan would ban fracking only on federal lands, not on private lands. Fact checkers regularly parrot the talking point.

For the full picture, voters should take a look at Biden’s official clean energy plan. The Biden plan borrows the Green New Deal’s ambitious goal of a “carbon pollution-free power sector by 2035.” Burning natural gas—methane—inevitably emits carbon, so the Biden plan requires eliminating natural gas for electricity generation by 2035.

Electricity generation is the main use of natural gas. It accounts for a third of all natural gas, using 11 trillion cubic feet of gas per year and growing. That is almost twice the amount of natural gas produced in all of Pennsylvania last year. Eliminating all this natural gas demand by 2035 would require idling countless natural gas wells and power plants, devastating local economies in Pennsylvania and elsewhere and destroying many good jobs. Without reliable natural gas electricity, states would experience California-like rolling blackouts.

Dire Rates: The Biden Tax Plan

Despite the pandemic contraction, it might come as a surprise to hear that Joe Biden and his economic team are sticking to their guns and promising a giant tax increase next year. They’re even asserting that the Biden plan will be good for growth.

Before we dig into the bloody entrails of the plan, it’s useful to look at the “logic” that is being employed to pitch the Biden plan as an economic positive next year. Biden will, the story goes, work with Democrats to pass a $3 trillion stimulus. While his tax hike may score as high as $4 trillion over ten years, in the first year that is only $400 billion so we are looking at $3 trillion – $400 billion = $2.6 trillion in stimulus next year, a hefty number. Convinced? Perhaps you will see the flaw if you try it this way. Suppose we impose 100 percent tax on corporate earnings, which are about $2 trillion a year. The stimulus from the Biden plan ($3 trillion) would be higher than that next year, so the sky is the limit! In the real world, the 100 percent tax would induce most everyone to just shut down, regardless of how much money we borrow from the Chinese to spend on clunkers. As we shall see (sorry, I warned about the bloody entrails), that 100 percent tax rate is not so far from the truth.

On the corporate tax side, Biden increases the top rate to 28 percent (from the 21 percent achieved by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act), but also allows expensing of capital purchases to expire, and imposes steep new taxes on multinational income. On the individual side, the top individual rate will rise to 39.6 percent. Biden advocates other increases in the top marginal rate through some additional measures. First, he phases out itemized deductions, which lifts the rate by about 1.2 percent (taking us to 40.9 percent). Then he removes the cap on the 12.4 percent Social Security tax (lifting the rate to 53.3 percent), with the capital-gains rate rising to equal the ordinary tax rate. This Social Security tax trick was already used before when Democrats removed the cap on the Medicare tax, so add the 3.8 percent from that to our rate to get up to 57.1 percent.

Biden Pledges to Gut Religious Freedom Protections, Saying They Give 'Hate' a 'Safe Harbor'

Philadelphia Gay News asked the Democrat a question about religious freedom that demonized the very idea. “The idea of ‘religious freedom’ as a reason to allow discrimination has stoked divisiveness in this country. What can we do as a country to ensure that discrimination against LGBTQ people, no matter how it’s justified, does not happen?” the paper asked.

Biden responded by condemning Trump, accusing the president of having “deliberately tried to gut protections for the LGBTQ+ community by creating broad religious exemptions to existing nondiscrimination laws and policies that allow businesses, medical providers, and adoption agencies to discriminate against LGBTQ+ people.”

“We need to root out discrimination in our laws, institutions, and public spaces. Religion should not be used as a license to discriminate, and as president I will oppose legislation to deny LGBTQ+ equal treatment in public places. I will immediately reverse discriminatory practices that Trump put in place and work to advance the rights of LGBTQ+ people widely,” Biden pledged.

“Discrimination”

The Democrat’s pledges may sound positive and inclusive — he wants “protections” for people and he wants to fight “discrimination,” right? — but this rhetoric is deceptive.

Democrats have twisted the notion of discrimination in order to force Christians to violate their beliefs.

Christian baker Jack Phillips, for example, refused to bake a custom cake for a same-sex wedding, although he gladly sells all sorts of pre-made cakes to LGBT people in his shop. Yet the Colorado Civil Rights Commission ruled that he had discriminated against people on the basis of sexual orientation. He appealed the case all the way to the Supreme Court and won — because members of the commission displayed animus against his religious faith, comparing his views to those of the Nazis.

Even after this Supreme Court victory, Phillips again faced the commission. A transgender lawyer asked him to bake an obscene custom cake celebrating the lawyer’s gender transition. Phillips refused, citing his free speech right not to be forced to endorse a view with which he disagrees. The commission again found him guilty of discrimination, but it dropped the complaint in March 2019. The lawyer promptly sued Phillips. Christian florists, farmers, and other bakers have faced government sanctions for “discrimination” when they refused to celebrate same-sex weddings, exercising their rights to religious freedom, freedom of association, and free speech.
