August 10, 2014 (AcuteMania.net) – An invitation to appear on Colbert’s show and crack a few jokes seems like a great opportunity to humanize a political candidate. That must have been what Hillary was thinking when she choose to go on the show. However, Stephen Colbert and his democrat allies had another plan. Watch the video below.

Did you notice it? You can see Hillary smiling and counting the votes in her head as she parrots each spoon fed line. Colbert is smiling for a different reason. He knows that he has just landed a devastating blow to the Hillary 2016 campaign.

Recently, Hillary came under fire for saying that she was “dead broke” when Bill left office–in a year that her and Bill made 12 million dollars. She was trying to imply that she understood the situation of struggling Americans in this weak economy. However, the whole episode blew up on her, and she wound up saying that she regretted the remark.

The worst thing that can happen to a presidential candidate is to appear out of touch. Bill Clinton was famous for saying, “I feel your pain.” In 2012, Obama polled worse than Romney on the economy, but he was ahead on the empathy questions. When it comes to candidates for the democrat party, empathy is only issue of importance.

That explains why this comedy segment is so devastating. Fresh off the “dead broke” comment, Hillary gets into a fight over who has the most powerful friends, and she falls right into character so naturally. Most people who are watching this will come away thinking, “How obnoxious can she be?”

Democrat strategy insiders like to construct caricatures of their opponents. For Hillary, the caricature of being “out of touch” is very easy to create because it is so true to life. It is obvious from this and numerous other attacks that many in democrat party hate Hillary.

The question is “What are these democrats looking for?” Is there another Barak Obama set to steal the stage in 2016? Has the democrat party realized that 2016 won’t work and that they will have to look to 2020 for a winner? Maybe democrat insiders just hate Hillary and don’t care what happens to the party.

In a recent speech, Barack Obama delivered the line that Mitt Romney is quickly turning into the centerpiece of the 2012 presidential campaign: “If you’ve got a business, you didn’t build that; somebody else made that happen.” The Obama campaign is crying that this line is being taken out of context. Well, you can see the larger context in the video below, and it doesn’t make Obama look any better.

The basic thrust of the speech is that wealthy people need to pay higher taxes because the government provides services for them. This is a common argument for liberal politicians because they are always trying to increase taxes. So, I thought I might tackle this oft-repeated theme.

First, it isn’t the case that businesses can’t exist without government services; it’s government services that can’t exist without business. Government may build some of the things that businesses use. However, everything that government has is taken from businesses. Without them, government has nothing.

Second, businesses rely on some government services because government regulations forbid the private sector from providing them. Look at education: Government requires it, forces everyone to pay for it, and then stifles competition by opposing school choice programs. Despite that, virtually everyone who can afford to pay twice for their children’s education opts to send their kids to private schools, even public school teachers. The public education system is extremely expensive and does an incredibly poor job, and that is the sad truth of almost everything that government does.

That is reality. We are all forced, by the government, to pay extremely high taxes for incredibly bad services. Then, if the government actually manages to do something that isn’t completely useless, we are expected to get down on our knees and praise government workers because they “made that happen.”

It’s as certain as the sunrise that when a liberal politician wants to raise your taxes, they will tell you how much you need the one or two government services that people actually use. They will threaten you and say that those services will be cut if your taxes aren’t raised.

When they do threaten you, remind them that your taxes already overpay for those services. Remind them that you pay excessively high rates for those crummy services because government, unlike the private sector, is a monopoly. Remind them that, for every government service that you use, you pay for a thousand others that are completely useless. Remind them that most of the money that you are forced to pay into each government program is wasted. Remind them that it is the politicians that should get down on their knees and praise you because without your money, they wouldn’t have jobs. Remind them that it was your work and your taxes that “made that happen.”
