It’s middleclass class communities that the libs are going to send them to as they have all those low income housing developments built all over the country. Come on, you don’t really think these migrants are going to Martha’s Vineyard where the Obama’s live do you? You can be rest assured that they want no part of them.

My quality of life always goes down when I hear Spanish. Terrifying.
They aren’t called observations when you make them up.
And that is why the Democrats pushed through the 16th Amendment, so the rich would no longer have to pay their fair share of federal luxury taxes when purchasing articles of luxury, from which there was no escape, unless the “gods” decided to live as the poor did.
The rich may be extravagant, the poor can be frugal
Hamilton stresses in Federalist No 21 regarding taxes on articles of consumption:
“There is no method of steering clear of this inconvenience, but by authorizing the national government to raise its own revenues in its own way. Imposts, excises, and, in general, all duties upon articles of consumption, may be compared to a fluid, which will, in time, find its level with the means of paying them. The amount to be contributed by each citizen will in a degree be at his own option, and can be regulated by an attention to his resources. The rich may be extravagant, the poor can be frugal; and private oppression may always be avoided by a judicious selection of objects proper for such impositions. If inequalities should arise in some States from duties on particular objects, these will, in all probability, be counter balanced by proportional inequalities in other States, from the duties on other objects. In the course of time and things, an equilibrium, as far as it is attainable in so complicated a subject, will be established everywhere. Or, if inequalities should still exist, they would neither be so great in their degree, so uniform in their operation, nor so odious in their appearance, as those which would necessarily spring from quotas, upon any scale that can possibly be devised.
It is a signal advantage of taxes on articles of consumption that they contain in their own nature a security against excess. They prescribe their own limit; which cannot be exceeded without defeating the end proposed, that is, an extension of the revenue. When applied to this object, the saying is as just as it is witty, that, "in political arithmetic, two and two do not always make four .‘’ If duties are too high, they lessen the consumption; the collection is eluded; and the product to the treasury is not so great as when they are confined within proper and moderate bounds. This forms a complete barrier against any material oppression of the citizens by taxes of this class, and is itself a natural limitation of the power of imposing them.”
But what does that have to do with the legitimacy of having a public charge rule in respect to immigration? It is total insanity, and turning American citizens into tax slaves, to tax American citizens to pay for the economic needs of foreigners seeking to live in the United States.

When it comes to healthcare and helping the needy, our socialist revolutionaries who now control the democrat party have no moral compass whatsoever. They refuse to make the distinction between CHARITABLE GIVING and tax tyranny to support the healthcare needs of millions of foreign nationals who have invaded America’s borders.
The biggest cost to the middleclass comes from having to pay for their free education.
And, as a recent article points out, US schools — and students — will pay a price for Biden’s open borders for minors
"In 2014, New York City schools rolled out the red carpet for 1,662 migrants from Central America, committing a whopping $50 million for special programs. At the time, parents asked the question they should be asking again now: Why is the federal government allowing this influx of needy students when New York City already has its own challenges? Over half the city’s students read below grade level.
President Biden seems oblivious. Last week he announced a program to enable Central American children to apply for admission to the United States from their home country. That would spare them the dangerous trek. But it doesn’t alleviate the strain on our schools."
The article also points out a number of “enrichment activities” which our nation’s children were enjoying, such as art, music, etc., will have to be dropped to pay for the special needs of the swarm of Central America’s children being invited into our country by the Biden Administration because they cost thousands of dollars more to educate ___ they “need linguistic experts, tutors, psychological counseling, vaccinations and other support.”
So, the question remains, how is Biden’s immigration policy promoting the general welfare of the United States and HER citizens, when our citizen’s children are deprived of the education their parents have paid for?

The rich pay the bulk of the federal income taxes. The lowest 47 percent of earners pay little to nothing.

And the rich can and will leave if taxed at too high a rate.

Naturally. You wouldn’t support actual taxation of the people that serve you food, stock the shelves and clean your toilets, would you?
Why haven’t they all left?
Many have. The higher it goes, the more will leave. It’s not 1950 any more, plenty of other civilized places with adequate infrastructure and justice systems out there to choose from. And getting in is easy, if you are rich you can buy your way in legally.

Many have not. How many people renounce their American citizenship because of taxes?
A quaint few turncoats.

Turncoats? Ever hear the phrase, “consent of the governed”? Part of being an American is the freedom to leave if you don’t like it.

Oh, but the Democrat leadership, which pushed through the 16th Amendment, were very happy to devise a system of taxation which confiscates the property laboring class people have earned by the sweat of their labor while it allows those who have money working for them to avoid paying their fair share into our federal treasury.
But what does that have to do with the legitimacy of having a public charge rule in respect to immigration? It is total insanity, and turning American citizens into tax slaves, to tax American citizens to pay for the economic needs of foreigners seeking to live in the United States.

Democrat leaders claim to be advocates for hard working people. If that is so, why do they not promote an end to the unconstitutional “Temporary Victory Tax” of 1943, which began today’s federal confiscation of the bread which working people have earned by the sweat of their labor?
There’s no such thing as a tax slave. lol
According to you and our socialist revolutionary Democrat Party Leadership there is no such thing as a tax slave and tax tyranny.
But those who founded our country eloquently articulated otherwise, and understood one of the most fundamental functions of legitimate governance:
“Under a just and equal Government, every individual is entitled to protection in the enjoyment of the whole product of his labor, except such portion of it as is necessary to enable Government to protect the rest; this is given only in consideration of the protection offered. In every bounty, exclusive right, or monopoly, Government violates the stipulation on her part; for, by such a regulation, the product of one man’s labor is transferred to the use and enjoyment of another. The exercise of such a right on the part of Government can be justified on no other principle, than that the whole product of the labor or every individual is the real property of Government, and may be distributed among the several parts of the community by government discretion; such a supposition would directly involve the idea, that every individual in the community is merely a slave and bondsman to Government, who, although he may labor, is not to expect protection in the product of his labor. An authority given to any Government to exercise such a principle, would lead to a complete system of tyranny.” ___

“At night, parents with young children march through the brush after crossing the Rio Grande River in the pitch black. By day, unaccompanied kids arrive at shelters, in one instance 17 of 17 testing positive for COVID-19.”
Why on earth is the Biden Administration allowing this invasion to continue? There has to be an answer.

There is no better way to weaken, subdue and bring to its knees a prosperous and freedom loving country than by flooding it with the poverty stricken, poorly educated, low skilled, diseased, disabled and criminal populations of other countries.
Oh wow, slave owning people compared taxation to slavery. I guess they would know, right?
You suspiciously ignore the very purpose of slavery is to confiscate the property produced by those enslaved, which is exactly what is accomplished under the unconstitutional direct tax on the property earned by wage earning American citizens . . . property which is then redistributed to a tens of thousands of Central America’s poverty stricken migrants which the Biden Administration welcomes to cross the Border of the United States each month.
But again I ask: what does this have to do with the legitimacy of having a public charge rule in respect to immigration? It is total insanity, and turning American citizens into tax slaves, to tax American citizens to pay for the economic needs of foreigners seeking to live in the United States.
