Presidential election primer

Now that we are coming down the home stretch for the 2020 United States presidential election, I would like to point out some key information that may be helpful to undecided voters. There is so much false information being disseminated, I would like to focus on what most of us would agree are facts.

First of all, taking a holistic view of things, the Biden campaign is for bigger government, higher taxes and redistribution of wealth from those that have to those that have not. The Trump administration is for smaller government, lower taxes and letting people keep more of their money.

The Biden campaign is also invested in redistributing wealth to pay for climate control initiatives, while the Trump administration is less concerned about this. 

I would think most people would agree about the aforementioned. Where the misinformation comes in is in the areas of individual freedoms and the economic structure of our economy. A large constituency of the democratic party leans heavily towards a socialistic economic model, complete with a heavy concentration of government control which is necessary in order to maintain such a system.

Wealthy individuals will not voluntarily offer large percentages of their income and wealth to government bureaucrats simply on the basis of their assurance that the funds will be spent wisely. So, in order for a socialistic governmental system to sustain itself, a significant number of low income and disadvantaged individuals are needed as a political base from which the ruling party can gain and sustain office.

For the most part, a socialist model will be supported by the supposed beneficiaries of such a system, lower income individuals who benefit from government handouts. Thus, you see the Biden campaign cater to the "working class" and economically challenged individuals. The problem here is that there may not be enough of them around to win election and maintain office, so more such individuals need to be cultivated to sustain a socialist system.

That is the driving force behind the democrat's radical agenda that includes statehood for the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico, stacking the Supreme Court with liberal judges, and
