WASHINGTON – Congressman Byron Donalds (R-FL) joined The Ingraham Angle on Fox News Channel to discuss the socialist takeover within the Democrat Party.
"Their politics is rooted in the fact that they don't have real policy positions that help people improve their lives or help people move up the economic ladder and chase the American dream":
"No, they've not done the math. They'll never do the math because their politics is truly rooted in envy. Their politics is rooted in the fact that they don't have real policy positions that help people improve their lives or help people move up the economic ladder and chase the American dream. Their politics are based on envy. So, they'll never do the math. I mean, look at what they want to do in healthcare. It's not helping anybody. The prices are through the roof. This is the Democrats' plan. Bernie Sanders voted for this. This is what they want. It's not working. It's not helping, but they don't care. They just want to go take it from somebody else. Well, guess what? Other people are not going to sit around while they have their resources taken from them. They simply are not. Our nation allows people to build wealth. It's individual liberty. It's common sense. It's limited government. That's what works. It always has."
"It destroys wealth. It destroys individualism. And that is not what America is about":
"What they really want is an anti-capitalist society. That's what they believe in. And so when you hear the rhetoric of tax the rich, I got a newsflash for Bernie. The rich will leave because they can. Because they have escape velocity. If you go and try to take their money from them, they're not going to sit around and wait for you to just come up with a grocery cart and take their money. They're going to walk away, and frankly, they should. This is craziness. But this is where the Democratic left has gone with this democratic socialist policies, communism, Marxism. It's insane. It destroys wealth. It destroys individualism. And that is not what America is about."
