Progressive Policies Wreck Everything
24th July 2020
I laughed when I saw The Washington Post headline: “Minneapolis had progressive policies, but its economy still left black families behind.”
The media are so clueless. Instead of “but,” the headline should have said, “therefore,” or “so, obviously.”
Of course, progressive policies failed! They almost always do.
“If you wanted a poster child for the progressive movement, it would be Minneapolis,” says Republican Minnesota Senate candidate Jason Lewis in my new video. “This is the same city council that voted to abolish the police department.”
The council, which has no Republicans, spends taxpayer money on most every progressive idea.
They brag that they recycle most everything. They have a plan to stop climate change. They tell landlords to whom they must rent. They will force employers to pay every worker $15 an hour. They even tell supermarkets what cereal they must sell.
Despite such policies, meant to improve life for minorities and the poor, the Minneapolis income gap between whites and Blacks is the second-highest in the country.
