Rashida Tlaib, the anti-Semitic and communistic representative, has a new proposal called LIFT, described in a recent article as “the easiest smart idea in Washington.” Wait until you hear this one!
The author of an article describing the proposal at The Week claimed: “liberal policymaking is in thrall to disgusting conservative prejudice about poor people.”
Cooper explains the current policy he finds unacceptable:
Policies like the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) and the Child Tax Credit have a “phase-in schedule,” meaning that in order to claim any benefit, one must first earn money working at a job. That excludes the vast majority of the poorest people because they are overwhelmingly people who have difficulty working.

He further writes:
Children, students, the unemployed, the disabled, the elderly, and people caring for someone else make up about nine-tenths of people in poverty. [He linked to the communist mag Jacobin for his facts.]
He wrote: just don’t do that.
He conveniently left out deadbeats, people who don’t want to work, and other countries’ poor people who come here illegally.
Welfare is the free income they receive, not from government, but from hard working Americans.
LIFT is unsustainable and does nothing but promote fraud with money we don’t have. We don’t have money for this — we borrow to exist.
Cooper concludes: Get rid of the stupid rotten phase-in and give money to all poor people. It’s both an excellent idea that would slash American poverty, and a crucial step in shaking off the baggage of capitalist ideology.
Oh yes, such baggage. There is no baggage in Venezuela or Russia or China. All is going along swimmingly in those countries.
The United States is a wonderful, grand success, and the rest of the world can’t compare. Unfortunately, the natural order of things is statism and control. It is not freedom. The fascist left seeks to drag us into the abyss with the rest of the world.
This idea of Talib should be enough for anyone who has a job to vote conservative forever. And to re-elect Trump in 2020.
It only makes sense to the left, and their supporters. Those who do not understand where government money comes from will be enthralled by it. That would be the leftist supporters.
This idea is exactly the way the dims have been getting the minority vote for decades, by promising more “free” stuff at every election. Resulting in more poor folks(who’s gonna work if ya don’t have to to get by) on the public dole. Stupid is rampant at some levels of our society.
Work for welfare needs to be instituted. Should be no handouts on the backs of others. Work can be found for almost everyone. There is presently a shortage of employees to fill the jobs we have available. It can be done.
When everyone is poor and miserable then the glorious equality will finally be achieved. Forward!
Enlightened beings otherwise known as kommissars and apparatchiks will decide who gets what amount and they certainly won’t be making any sacrifice.
WE, AS A DEMOCRATIC COUNTRY, ARE ON THE VERGE OF COLLAPSE AND WHO WOULD BE LEFT TO BAIL US OUT?. WE TAKE CARE OF THE WORLD BUT THERE IS NO ONE TO HELP US AGAINST THE UNDER THE SWAMP DEMS! IN LESS THAN 10 YEARS WE ARE GOING TO BE STRUGGLING FOR OUR VERY BREATH. THE DEMS ONLY CARE ABOUT MONEY AND CONTROL. THE DEMS GET RICHER BY THE LOBBYISTS AND BIG BUSINESS ALONG WITH Wall Street. THE REPS GET BOOD BY THE DEMS WITH ALL THEIR FAR LEFT IDEAS. I AM AFRAID FOR MY FAMILY AND WHAT THE DEMS ARE DOING TO OUR WONDERFUL COUNTRY. THEY ARE TAKING AWAY 250 YEARS OF WORK , HEARTBREAK, A ND A BELIEF IN GOD BY AMERICANS TO STAY FREE. THE DEMS DESTROY IT WITH LIES. AMERICA IS ON THE EDGE WAITING FOR UNAMERICAN PEOPLE LIKE NADLER, PELOSI AND THE FAR LEFT TO DESTROY THE USA>.
“… the easiest smart idea in Washington.”
Dumbest idea I’ve ever heard! We’ll ALL end up poor; there will be no one left to help us.
