COMMENTARY – FIRST AMENDMENT – NEWS ANALYSIS
Governor Andy Beshear (D) proposes to use $400 million of Kentucky’s covid relief award to pay so-called heroes like grocery store clerks, nurses, and teachers extra bonuses for doing their jobs during the so-called ‘covid pandemic’ political shutdown.
This is a bribe suspiciously put forth at the very time Beshear announced he has filed to run for a second term as Governor.
In fact, teachers hid at home and resisted every logical effort to reopen classrooms under the aegis of the Kentucky Educational Association (KEA)’s marxist dogma.
Many stores already paid their clerks a bonus, leaving consumers with inflated prices to cover those bonuses. It may be more appropriate to give all taxpayers that money.
Many self-employed people lost their customer bases, forcing some to go into early retirement to pay bills.
Nobody wanted to close their business nor stay at home; it was a political decree calculated to help Democrats fundamentally change the American culture and economic system by destroying small businesses, isolating individuals, and augmenting identity politics – all part of Karl Marx’s modis operandi, the same plot used by Hitler’s Nazi Party to create the Third Reich.
Using covid relief money to bribe large identifiable groups is bad policy and leaves out large numbers of other citizens who never got bonus pay but lost their source of income.
And the three federal checks to individuals totalling only $2,400 does not recoup losses incurred during the Government mandated shutdown.
Lexington Mayor Gorton’s Bad Idea
Linda Gorton, Mayor of Lexington, says she wants to dole out bribe money just like the Governor is doing.
That’s also a bad idea Mayor Gorton. Your popularity is high enough to win a future re-election bid without doing such a dastardly deed.
