Biden administration takes aim at vulnerable children

Vaccine mandate already causing Head Start closures

One of the great ironies of the modern political age is how everything has seemingly been stood on its head.

Once, way back before modern civilization—the 1960s—the left was pretty much united it its loathing of big business. Big business and multinational corporations preyed on the middle class and the poor, the left said (correctly, it might be added).

These days, those big businesses are the biggest financial sponsors of the left, from Coke to Monsanto to Pfizer to McDonalds to Amazon to State Farm to Chase, and more. Somewhere along the way, globalist corporations and globalist collectivists realized that the globalist part was all that mattered, and became partners in oppression.

Not that the left doesn’t still portray itself as haters of big business. Democrats love to yell slogans like “Tax the Rich,” while lathering them with all sorts of subsidies and tax favors, and they love especially to call the GOP the party of “millionaires and billionaires,” even though most billionaires are firmly riding the donkey’s backside.

If you don’t believe me, just look at the last presidential campaign and the amount of money given by Wall Street and big business to each party.

Of course, the ultimate irony is that the policies of the party of social justice, the Democratic Party, are eviscerating the working class and the poor, and they have for years. They did that with big-business trade deals during the Clinton and Obama years (Bush was no better, though) and with no-growth elitist environmental policies, and this has become startlingly evident with their pandemic policies.

Massive school and societal closures have wreaked havoc on our children’s education and mental health—and physical health too—not to mention the economic misery heaped on the backs of small businesses and the middle class.

Interestingly, the Democrats don’t even try to hide their elitism and motives any longer, parading around unmasked at parties for their elite rich donors while being served by the subservient and masked working class. And, in New York and in similar places with vaccine passport requirements, there is a new apartheid, for it is the working class and minorities and poor who are disproportionately locked out of mainstream society’s public venues.

In many ways, these passports are the cultural equivalent of single family zoning districts, a way to lock out the contemptibles and the lower class—from “respectable” neighborhoods in the latter instance and from “respectable” restaurants and theatres in the former.

All this is social oppression and economic misery, courtesy of the Democratic Party. Out-of-control inflation, also courtesy of the oligarchical Democratic Party, only adds to the suffering.

One of the most glaring examples of how these policies—specifically, the vaccine mandates, should they take effect—would hurt the poor is the nation’s Head Start program. Head Start programs deliver services through 1,600 agencies in local communities, and provide services to more than a million children every year. 

Its purpose is to “promote the school readiness of low-income children by enhancing their cognitive, social, and emotional development.”

But guess what?
