Federal Government At War Against The Working Middle Class

In this 27 minute video Senator. Ted Cruz explains, from the well of the Senate, how it is the case that the proposed Comprehensive Immigration Reform bill that has passed the US Senate (S-744) will redistribute wealth and opportunity away from Americans and legal immigrants towards envisioned newly Amnestied immigrants since the employment of newly amnestied immigrants means that the employer doesn’t have to pay Obamacare taxes given the provision of the passed Senate Bill — S-744. This bill provides overwhelming incentive for employers with over 50 employees to hire newly amnestied immigrants over American citizens and legal immigrants. Further, the bill provides incentive to even exchange one’s American workforce with newly amnestied immigrants since every exchanged American employee for a amnestied immigrant means a potential $5000.00 profit in the pocket of the employer. Put briefly, if an employer with over 50 employees hires a US citizen over one of the new 11 million amnestied immigrants the employer (the business owner) will be penalized $5000 per head!

Obamacare premiums are set by your age, not your health. The older you are the more you pay in premiums. It doesn’t matter if you never go to the doctor. Obamacare punishes you for having a healthy lifestyle. The Obamacare tax is a massively regressive poll tax on the middle-aged and the middle class.

Once again, this is a redistribution of wealth away from the Middle-aged and middle class towards both the Lower class and the upper Class. The wealthy do pay the tax but because it is a regressive tax it represents a much less significant portion of their income. The lower class do not pay the tax because they don’t meet the income requirements. The people taking it on the chin are the Middle aged and the middle class.

So, the Obamacrare tax does a couple of things.

A.) It works to reduce the middle class so that we have an increasingly “have vs. have not” society.

B.) Depending on whether there is a profile of the typical people who disproportionately represent the middle aged and the working middle class in this country we would be seeing an attack on the people group who might hypothetically meet the profile of your average middle aged and working middle class.

Your biggest help to me dear reader will be to often remind me that God is Sovereign and that all that is, is because it pleases him.

  1. **Sarcasm alert!**

    But, Bret… (familiar?) The church has nothing to say..
    This is all involving nature and the civil realm. Taxing people whether they like it or not isnt stealing. It is simply taxes!

    Political items such as these involve decision making that has nothing to do with morality. The church has nothing to say. This is all left to common man and his autonomous understanding using the light of nature.
    Natural revelation can be understood apart from special revelation… Van Til was simply wrong in his assessment of natural revelation. Adam indeed could have understood God’s decretive will apart from His special revelation.

    Taxing in the political arena is totally different from stealing with the redemptive kingdom.

    ***Anyway, perhaps my sarcasm isnt as clever as I think it is. I will try to come up with something better next time.***

    1. I thought that comment splendid. Here’s my go:

      DIVERSITY

      Creation’s true diversity

      Revealing man’s perversity

      Man seeks to rediversify

      God’s ownership to falsify

      Harmonies outside of God

      Fabrications mere facades

      Movie sets that shift and change

      Fail God’s world to rearrange

  2. Bret,

    while I am writing this I am watching the movie, “Wilson” on AMC, produced in 1934.

    Hartian’s love to love on Wilson because their ideology comes from their R2K theology, Wilson hated God’s rule. He was an extreme liberal

    R2Kers also extremely dislike God’s rule
