I Want a Refund

by Henry Schulte

Give Us Our Money Back!

From January to about May, all the money I earn is not mine. I have to give it away to an organization that does with it what they will. Finally, I’m discovering (well, kinda, we already knew) where a huge chunk of it is going; other people who didn’t earn it.

Democrats have had their way a tad too long.

People like Maxine Waters, Elizabeth Warren, Alexandria Ocasio Cortez (AOC) and others are quacking their usual sky-is-falling tirade. The sky didn’t fall the last time and it won’t this time. It’s ironic their go-to is to call Elon Musk (their one-time bff) an “un-elected billionaire.”

We didn’t elect any of Joe Biden’s string pullers either and how did that work out?

Get over it.

The country is finally doing what should have been done over the last fifty years or so.

Democrats feel the need to build a better mouse trap (aka, a new lying policy) to “earn” the public’s trust and prove they care about the same things Americans do. Screaming about abortion, trans “rights,” and personal pronouns are dead issues. They must outdo Trump and devise a strategy that will at least seem like it’ll reduce the inflation they created. Democrats will also “suggest” better ways to produce more energy (not wind and solar) to lower the gas prices they raised and then pretend they can build a better wall than Trump.

The desperate Dems are trying to muster some love raising the topics of “racism” and reparations, while denigrating “white” people. They still want to spend more money. Like California Governor Gavin Newsom stealing fifty million more tax dollars, to support and keep illegals in California.

Are they not paying attention?

Musk is working for the American people (for free) and is dedicated to cut spending; Democrats are determined to keep digging into our pockets.

Thankfully things will get back to normal soon enough because the country is being managed by competent, intelligent adults.

The revelations of how our money has been misspent is staggering. It’s refreshing that ‘we the people’ feel part of our government again. The transparency has allowed all of us to participate as we watch the corruption reveal itself before our eyes.

We’re allowed to sit at the big people table.

Sitting on Partisan Toilet

Running the United States is like managing a massive business and you need businesspeople to manage it. If any business – from a coffee shop to Google – were run in the same manner, those shops and large corporations would have fired everyone responsible for the mess and/or closed their doors. A public company must answer to the shareholders (the American citizen). If a company discovers monies have been going to other places instead of their company, the shareholders would fire the board of directors (government agencies) and start over. If it were still financially viable to do so.

I ask myself, while Democrats sit on the partisan toilet, why are they fighting the uncovering of the vast corruption and the wasting of billions of tax dollars? Since their political necks are on the line, should they not be jumping in to help root out all the bad stuff? At least try and give the impression they care a little bit about our money? Show a modicum of concern?

Democrats haven’t learned a thing. Americans are watching their ranting; singing stupid songs, Code Red alerts, and how this is a “Constitutional crisis.”

Travelin’ Along, Singin’ a Song, Side by Side

The left needs to wipe away their fake tears, swallow a huge pride pill, and get to work. Think of what could be accomplished if they operated side by side with Republicans to get the mess cleaned up. If they became participants instead of antagonists in downsizing government, maybe they could reward Americans with tax cuts. They could take some ownership of being part of such an accomplishment. If they could just stop it already with the climate hoax and become energy independent again and reduce the cost of filling your car, they could take some credit for that too. If Dems could experience a kumbaya moment and join in closing the border, then tangible discussions could take place to create a real immigration strategy.

If Democrats could put the country first for once.

Can you imagine if after cutting billions of dollars of flab and then giving every American some of their money back, what kind of goodwill that could earn them?

A number of well-run businesses reward their employees if the company had a good year.

So can America.

Instead, Democrats continue to be infected with TDS and even more so with MDS: Musk Derangement Syndrome.

Democrats continue to push against tornado-like winds trying to be heard above the cacophony and trashing Musk as a vampire sucking the fiscal blood of poor kids in Africa or taking medication away from people in South America. Democrats have to offer much more than their incessant name calling.

It’s become tedious.

Bigger, Better, and Bolder

Trump is building a new generation of leaders. A young and strong group of men and women in his administration who can go on and lead for years to come. Business as usual is not going to cut it anymore. Americans won’t stand for it and won’t stand for going back to the shadowy government of old from which they were excluded.

We had become accustomed to accepting government “progress” at a glacial speed. If just something ever got accomplished in the first place. These last weeks have proven it never needed to be like that.

Keep the slash-and-burn going.

Get bigger chain saws.

Don’t back down on anything.

Like water, the country will eventually find its own level. There will be pain along the way but like an Etch-a-Sketch, if you don’t like the first thing you draw, just shake it up and start over.

The American Revolution will be celebrating its 250th birthday soon. What a perfect time to get things cleaned up and start over.

In the meantime, I want some of my money back.
