Watch: Mark Levin educates Marxist Democrats on basic economics



The left desperately needs a lesson in economics, and Mark Levin is here to supply it — because Marxists like Robert Reich are failing to do the job.

Reich claims that the “crises” Republicans are concerned about are “totally made up” in order to “distract from the real crises facing Americans” like “growing concentration of wealth” and the “worsening climate crisis.”

“I’m tired of this Marxist claptrap with class warfare,” Levin says, before destroying Reich’s argument.

“According to the Marxists,” he begins, “there’s only one pie. And the more somebody takes out of that pie, the less pie you have to eat. That’s not how market capitalism works.”

“Under capitalism,” he continues, “the pie gets bigger and bigger and bigger except when these masterminds Bernie Sanders, Biden, Reich jump in. And they try and decide who will and who will not succeed.”

This is precisely why the attack on entire industries like automobiles — by “Democratic socialists” like Biden — is going to hurt the economy more than help it.

“The more the government rules over the economy, the harder it is for the economy to grow. And sometimes it begins to shrink,” Levin explains.

Leftists also seem to operate under the belief that there is no middle class in this country.

“We have a massive middle class in this country. Why? Because the government dictated it? No. Because the Industrial Revolution,” Levin says, noting that the Industrial Revolution “was the greatest period of economic growth mankind has ever experienced.”

“Ever since, the Marxists, the Democrats, have done everything they can to it. They hate capitalism,” he adds.

Democrats’ Culture War Is Destroying Their Ability To Govern Competently Enough To Fool Voters

The ideology making Democrats unpopular is also preventing them from understanding why they are unpopular.

Levin: 'Why is it that the Democrats never think of ways to expand liberty?'

Tuesday on the radio, LevinTV host Mark Levin explained why instead of shutting down the Democratic presidential campaign talking points, such as single-payer health care and reparations, the American people should simply let Democrats try to defend them.

Levin read a piece from National Review, which showed that while 81 percent of Democrats say it is important that the Democratic nominee supports Medicare for All, 78 percent of Democratic voters do not support the provision at the heart of Medicare for All: the abolishing of private insurance, which Sens. Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren have been promoting.

"People don't support abolishing private health care," Levin said. "They want prices to come down; they want more options; and only the private sector — really only competition — can provide that. Not a government-run private system, which is kind of what we have today. So the Democrats should be forced to eat their proposals. The Democrats want to run on reparations? Let them run on reparations! But first let them explain it."

Levin added that we should also let the Democratic presidential nominees talk about the cost of the programs they say they will implement and how the increased federal income taxes will hurt the middle class and the poor the most.

"Now they want a federal wealth tax on your real estate," Levin said. "Do you know why there's no federal property tax? Because it's not in the Constitution. So how're they going to get federal wealth tax? If you own a private business, you're now going to have towns and states telling you what your minimum wage is. You're going to have health care for all that you're going to have to pay for; it'll be a monumental cost. You're going to have to pay for family leave, another monumental cost. And then on top of that, the federal government's going to come in and say, 'Uh, wealth tax.' Why is it that the Democrats never think of ways to expand liberty and opportunity and creativity and productivity? Instead, they're always trying to choke the golden goose. And they think they'll choke the golden goose and yet the golden goose will continue to lay golden eggs. It doesn't work that way."

"They use this Marxist class warfare to get what they want. None of these people with these proposals have ever created jobs in the private sector. None of them have had to meet payrolls. None of them have paid salaries. None of them have paid pensions. None of them have paid medical care for their folks and so forth. They haven't invented a thing. They haven't produced a thing. They're politicians."

Levin: Why can’t socialists seem to answer this one simple question?

Friday on the radio, LevinTV host Mark Levin broke down one of the biggest problems with communism and socialism, which are essentially based on class warfare.

Specifically, how in the world can anyone properly define which class is supposed to rise up, subjugate the one above them, and become the new privileged class in the first place?

And while the definition problem is a significant one, Levin explains, it’s only the beginning their problems.
