Lisa Benson for October 03, 2019

Lisa must be on point for the Trump re-election mob.

Seriously, Lisa Benson? STILL with that LIE about the “free stuff”?

Yeah, I get it that Goebbels promised that if you tell a lie enough times it becomes the truth, but if Joseph Goebbels is your moral role model, well, that explains a lot.

Progressive policies are NOT about expecting “FREE STUFF” any more than you expect law enforcement, emergency first responders or “free” public schools to be provided by “other people’s money.”

We all contribute and we all benefit.

There are good ways in which public resources are allocated for public benefit but which no one would seriously consider “free stuff.” for the legitimate purpose of protecting PUBLIC HEALTH AND SAFETY, maintaining public order and helping those who actually need it:

• Universal comprehensive no-fee health care

• Universal tuition-free public education through college

• Guaranteed secure retirement program

• Job retraining, job placement assistance

• Proactive social services to PREVENT crime

• Public infrastructure for general use and general benefit

• Law enforcement, firefighting, emergency disaster relief

• Military protection from foreign threats

.

Ways in which public resource allocation is ABUSED as “free” giveaways — the real “free stuff” — are when they go to the few richest elites who already have the most with no benefit to the general public:

• Corporate welfare (socialism for the rich)

• Socialized professional sports (socialized football — all benefit goes to people that are very rich)

• Tax exemptions for churches that non-believers have to make up for (socialized religion)

Lets see if I can hone it down to two syllable words: It is not “free stuff” ! It is spending that helps the people and does not steal from the poor to give to the rich !

How about those free socialist tax breaks republicans borrowed trillions from China to give to rich people?

Republicans want to cut Medicare and Social Security to pay for the money they gave to the republican donor class.

At least Warren wants to return the tax dollars to the people who pay and not steal everything from the people like Republicans do.

Some day there may be something that Trump Disciples do NOT lie about.

Today is not that day.

.

If Lisa’s cartoon is an indication, it may be that soon Ukraine will be pressured to investigate Warren.

Funny, fees for online trading of stocks has fallen to zero…. everybody panic…

When you can’t find anything more relevant (or don’t want to), revert to an old worn-out meme that doesn’t even apply.

The only thing I want free is to be free of Donald Trump and all his current regime! And I can tell that will be happening pretty quickly for him, have you seen this guy on the news in a fearful rage and name calling rant claiming his innocence? What a guy, he also knows the end is rapidly approaching so lets all sit back and watch the show before the final curtain falls.

Lisa’s STILL off her meds, I see…

Take a look at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8WVoJ6JNLO8 and see why it’s High Tech that is cowering under its desk (https://www.nytimes.com/2019/10/01/us/politics/elizabeth-warren-mark-zuckerberg-facebook.html). We’re back in the Taft vs. Roosevelt era of trust busting (and I think 130 year ago, Lisa would have been on the side of J. P. Morgan).

My friend who get Social Security, Medicare and VA Benefits hates SOCIALISM! His definition? If a Black or Brown person gets Social Security, Medicare or VA Benefits that is SOCIALISM! If he gets them, that is his due.

Lie, Deflect, and Distort, the ad agency running the 2020 elections for the ’Cons.

Wall Street will gladly support any Democrat who believes in science AND Capitalism.

Ms. Benson is trying to get noticed by FOX.

Lisa, do you also lie to friends and family?

Nothing is FREE….remember that! One way or the other, they get us in the end!

Shouldn’t Benson focus on paying for THE WALL!

Lisa, I like the clarity and colors in your toon, but your message – not so much.

Strange cartoon. It looks to me as if Lisa is predicting that Warren will be successful and that the Wall Street manipulators will be hiding from the result (loss of unchecked market manipulation?).

So cute, Wall Street is hiding because of uncertainty in the White House for the Insane and the glorious trade war.

And she’s riding in a hot air balloon. LMAO. Perfect.

Warren is a champion of the working class. As for protecting the interests of our corporate overlords, please continue Lisa.

The reason all the comments here are from the far left is that the rest of us have jobs thanks to Trump! Lisa, thanks for not listening to all the dissenters. I Love your strip and read it every day! You are always spot on.

OCASIO-CORTEZ BLASTS TRUMP $28B FARM RESCUE, ASKS WHY ‘SOCIALISM’ NOT BAD WHEN BILLIONAIRES ARE BUYING VOTES

I guess this means Benson is a Warren supporter – No headdress or buckskins, she’s making Wall Street crooks scramble to hide under the desk, she’s greeting everyone with a wave and a warm smile, and free stuff is gonna start to sound pretty good with Trump vomiting all over the economy. Nice to have you aboard, Lisa!

There’s a reason why the wealthy elites insist the biggest welfare kings and queens in America are Blacks, Hispanics, and illegals; it’s all deflection to distract from the real statistics that shows rural White America, corporate America, fossil fuel industry, and corporate agriculture are the biggest welfare kings and queens in America. Corporations and billionaires don’t want to see those tax subsidies go away in order to pay for programs that help working class Americans in need.

This cartoon would be correct if that bag was named “REGULATIONS” and “CFPB”.

The corporate welfare group is hiding under their desks. It’s about time…

“Free Stuff”: When you can’t think of anything substantive to say about a progressive.

Change “Free” to “Returned”; Wall street dollars start as someones labor. It’s time for working people to see the benefits for their labor being spent on them, and not given away as tax breaks to those who need it least.

Mechanical aptitude is not required for editorial cartooning, weird how the FREE STUFF (sandbags) is holding Warren back from rising even faster….

Stop taking your Imodium again, WIZ?
