"DNC speakers prove hard left turn for Harris party” | Alan Dershowitz

Alan Dershowitz is a lifetime Democrat who voted for every Dem president from Bill Clinton to Hillary Clinton

He’s also 50-year Harvard Law professor emeritus. Top of his class at Harvard and youngest ever law professor at Harvard. Barack Obama was a neighbour and friend.

In other words, a man of the Left, and hugely accomplished. 

Here he goes of on the Democratic National Convention, currently on in Chicago. For ditching Israel, its main ally in the Middle East. 

"DNC speakers prove hard left turn for Harris party” 

And... at the DNC Kamala Harris has announced two crazy policies (at least):

1. Price caps (aka “anti-corporate-gouging”). Which have never worked and have only led to shortages and black markets. 

2.  A tax of unrealised capital gains. This again has never worked. It would lead to a massive crush of the stock market and likely to as massive economic down-spiral. A tax like this would bankrupt half the companies in the US. 

And, also, less crazy, but still pretty crazy: an increase in corporate tax, when corporates are still reeling from post-covid recovery. 

The Most PSYCHOTIC Thing Democrats Want.

And it’s not just the conservatives like Shapiro having a go at her. Even Democratic economists are criticising them

And what the Democrats have pledged to do if they gain control of presidency, Senate and House. Proposals that will entrench a Democratic government forever. A one-party state, IOW.
