Suggested Answers to the Short Quiz

Post by johnkarls »

.
Question 1

Is our author, Batya Ungar-Sargon, the long-time opinion editor of Newsweek Magazine?

Answer 1

Yes.

Question 2

Did she spend a year, in addition to her Newsweek duties, interviewing zillions of “blue collar” Americans around the country?

Answer 2

Yes.

Question 3

Did she find that the three most-important ways in which American workers feel betrayed are –

(A) The exportation for 24 years 1993-2016 of blue-collar jobs to China, et al.?
(B) The wide-open Southern border which has produced a flood of illegal immigrants who drive down wages for blue-collar workers?
(C) The lack of adequate healthcare whose deductibles and copays spell disaster?

Answer 3

Yes.

Question 4

Are the “Big 3” followed by a host of other problems such as a lack of adequate housing?

Answer 4

Yes.

Question 5

But re 3(A), have we focused many times on America’s 1993-2016 exportation of jobs to China, et al.?

Answer 5

Absolutely!!!

Indeed, our most recent focus on the 1993-2016 exportation of jobs to China et al. was during our 10/18/2023 meeting featuring President Trump’s trade negotiator Robert Lighthizer’s “No Trade is Free: Changing Course, Taking on China and Helping Amerca’s Workers” (Broadside Books 6/27/2023).

The meeting resulted in our letter to President Biden re “Exportation Of American Jobs And Sale Of American Crown Jewels To Pay For Consumer-Goods Imports” which is available for download at viewtopic.php?f=23&t=2420&sid=1ffd9edb5 ... a02d8ceb73.

Question 6

And re 3(B), have we focused on another aspect of our wide-open Southern border, viz. that it facilitates Modern Slavery counter to the UN’s now 24-year-old War on Modern Slavery pursuant to which we have learned, inter alia, that the price of a slave delivered to your residence was only $5,250 as of 2019 and that by 2019 there were TWICE AS MANY slaves as were traded throughout the 350-year Trans-Atlantic slave industry AND THAT SLAVERY IS MORE PROFITABLE FOR ORGANIZED CRIME THAN ILLEGAL DRUGS OR ILLEGAL WEAPONS??? And that if you want to use your slave for “organ harvesting” rather than working on your farm/vineyard or in your factory, the price presumably would be somewhat higher to cover the cost of ensuring your prospective slave’s DNA is sufficiently similar to yours for successful organ harvesting???

Answer 6

Yes and Yes.

Question 7

And re 3(C), that “Medicare for All” would actually have saved the U.S. Government $300 billion/YEAR prior to the 12/22/2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act???

Answer 7

Absolutely – please see viewtopic.php?f=23&t=1631&sid=82e99b5a9 ... bc22f758f0.

Question 8

And “Medicare for All” would STILL SAVE THE U.S. GOV $86 billion/YEAR because even in the wake of the 2017 legislation, the “tax expenditure” for the 55% of the American population covered by employer-provided healthcare plans which are deductible to the employer (though now at a 21% income-tax rate rather than the old 35% rate) WHILE BEING TAX-FREE to employees -- has only been reduced to 11.6% of total American healthcare costs?

Answer 8

Absolutely – please see viewtopic.php?f=23&t=1869&sid=82e99b5a9 ... bc22f758f0.

Question 9

Do you think “Second Class” will discover that the reason why the American working class “worships” Donald Trump is because as President, he fought to return jobs to America and he fought to close the Southern border to illegal immigrants?

Answer 9

What do you think??? Let’s discuss!!!

We have often studied how President Trump fought to return jobs to America – most recently when we focused on Trump’s trade negotiator Robert Lighthizer’s “No Trade Is Free” and sent our 10/26/2023 letter to President Biden entitled “Exporting American Jobs and Sale of Our Crown Jewels To Pay For Consumer-Goods Imports” at viewtopic.php?f=23&t=2420&p=3236&hilit= ... 58f0#p3236.

And we have often focused on the Southern border, most often in connection with the UN’s now 24-year-old War on Modern Slavery – please see Q&A-6 above and our 9/20/2023 letter to President Biden imploring him to stop facilitating Modern Slavery (the letter is available for download at viewtopic.php?f=23&t=2401&sid=82e99b5a9 ... bc22f758f0).

Question 10

Do you think “Second Class” will discover that the American working class ignores all of the prosecutions against Donald Trump because the working class is still largely religious and, consequently, well aware of how Christ was persecuted because of His love for the common people?

Answer 10

What do you think??? Let’s discuss!!!

Question 11

In other words, that Donald Trump is a “Messianic figure”?

Answer 11

What do you think??? Let’s discuss!!!

Question 12

Do you think that if the Judge in Alvin Bragg’s NYC trial who is at the moment considering what punishment to impose for Donald Trump’s alleged violations of his “gag order,” imposes incarceration and, like Jeffrey Epstein in 2019, Trump is found dead in his jail cell, the American working class will believe that just like Christ died for them, Donald Trump died for them?

Answer 12

What do you think??? Let’s discuss!!!

Question 13

Do you think it is far-fetched to suppose that, due to the seemingly-unlimited hatred by Batya Ungar-Sargon’s “Elites” for Donald Trump, he is likely to be assassinated before election day?

Answer 13

What do you think??? Let’s discuss!!!

Question 14

BTW, do you think that Donald Trump views himself as a “Messianic figure” who is fighting for the American working class?

Answer 14

What do you think??? Let’s discuss!!!

Question 15

And that at his age, he would relish being a martyr for the American working class?

Answer 15

What do you think??? Let’s discuss!!!

Question 16

Is the most heart-breaking thing Batya Ungar-Sargon discovered about America’s Working Men and Women that despite knowing they have been betrayed by The Elites, they are still very patriotic and have a deep love for America?

Answer 16

Absolutely!!!
