It highlights how both figures \u2063represented\u2062 challenges to the establishment political class. <\/p>\n<p>Vance\u2019s nomination has elicited \u200bcriticism from the GOP establishment and mainstream media, particularly regarding his controversial remarks about certain Democratic figures, which have been characterized as\u200b disrespectful.\u2064 The article argues that\u2063 the backlash Vance has\u2064 faced is not merely about his rhetoric but reflects deeper ideological conflicts over tax policy, particularly \u2062his advocacy for a tax burden that favors parents and families over\u200b those without children. This aligns with Roosevelt&#8217;s historical \u200dstances \u200con family-centered economics, which emphasized greater\u2064 tax relief for \u2062larger families.<\/p>\n<p>The piece also critiques the traditional Republican priorities, suggesting they overlook the party&#8217;s historical roots in policies that once supported\u2063 working families. It concludes by\u200c noting that there are echoes of establishment resistance as both the GOP and Democratic factions exert influence over \u2062party members, hinting at a broader struggle for \u200bthe party\u2019s future direction \u2062amid changing voter demographics and priorities.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<div>\n<p>When labor champion Theodore Roosevelt became president after William McKinley succumbed to an assassin&rsquo;s bullets, establishment kingmakers such as Sen.

The latter two manufactured chattering-class outrage over his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=7gPGxB2FqEc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">2021 observation<\/a> that certain high-profile Democratic officeholders, whom he deemed &ldquo;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/jd-vances-past-backing-of-ivf-contradicts-jennifer-anistons-social-media-criticism-reports-the-washington-examiner\/\" title=\"JD Vance&#039;s past backing of IVF contradicts Jennifer Aniston&#039;s social media criticism, reports the Washington Examiner\">childless cat ladies<\/a>,&rdquo; did not have a direct physical stake in the country, claiming the remark offended American women.<\/p>\n<p>The Journal admonished the combat Marine for disrespecting &ldquo;people who make different life choices,&rdquo; even as his admitted sarcasm was limited to a few Democrats currently running the country, surely fair game during election season. Indeed, as Vance explicitly clarified <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=jBrEng3xQYo\">in another venue<\/a> at the same time, he was not disparaging childless women in general, including those who may not long to wed and bear children, or those who struggle to conceive.<\/p>\n<p>Yet Vance&rsquo;s real offense, per the Wall Street-K Street axis of power: his belief that the tax burden should be lighter on young parents but relatively heavier on their peers who are not rearing the next generation of social capital, a position that free-market fundamentalists find appalling. Family considerations, the Journal fears, create &ldquo;complications that add distortions&rdquo; to the tax code. Steeped in discredited supply-side economic theories, Rupert Murdoch&rsquo;s newspaper of record has for decades claimed the popular child tax credit, which Vance wants to expand and make permanent, also smacks of social engineering, and now adds the bipartisan provision is &ldquo;bad politics.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<h2>Family-Centered Economics<\/h2>\n<p>Longing for a return to pre-Trump days, these skeptics conveniently forget that the Midwesterner&rsquo;s instincts find root in American policy. It was President Ronald Reagan&rsquo;s appointees to the <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.org\/details\/beyondrhetoricne00unit\">National Commission on Children<\/a> that persuaded the bipartisan panel chaired by Sen. John Rockefeller IV, D-W.Va., to recommend the creation of a $1,000 per-child tax credit for all youngsters through age 18, which a Republican Congress scaled back but nonetheless adopted under Bill Clinton.<\/p>\n<p>Just as the same Beltway conservative groupthink ignores that the Party of Lincoln was founded on tariffs and industrial policies that made America great, it likewise overlooks that Theodore Roosevelt went further than Vance&rsquo;s family-centered economics. In his last book, <em>The Foes of Our Own Household<\/em>, the 26<sup>th<\/sup> president argued: &ldquo;In taxation, the rate should be immensely heavier on the childless and on the families with one or two children, while an equally heavy discrimination should lie in favor of the family with over three children.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Inspired by the father of six, the 1948 Congress upped an already <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/senate-republicans-trash-rick-scott-for-telling-voters-how-hell-work-for-them-2\/\" title=\"Senate Republicans Trash Rick Scott For Telling Voters How He\u2019ll Work For Them\">progressive tax code<\/a> not in terms of income but by marital and parental status.

While the Journal recently dismissed such statecraft as mean-spirited culture warring, TR and the GOP in its better days championed winning policies that helped spur the Baby Boom and create Henry Luce&rsquo;s <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/American_Century\">American Century<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The destructive and treacherous backbiting from party insiders is not new. The slandering of Vance started at least a month ago, as Murdoch and his newspapers&rsquo; editors lobbied Trump to pick anyone but the Buckeye native; they recognized the veep selection would signal the party&rsquo;s future. What surprises is the convergence of the Journal and the Democrats&rsquo; standard-bearer on social and economic issues.<\/p>\n<h2>The Establishment&rsquo;s Agenda<\/h2>\n<p>In attacking Vance, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/politics\/2024\/07\/26\/kamala-harriss-campaign-attacks-jd-vance-supporting-child-tax-credit\/\">Harris campaign has now effectively called for repealing the child tax credit,<\/a> while gaining the financial backing of billionaires who want Harris, if she wins, to fire Federal Trade Commission Chair Lina Khan for restoring antitrust enforcement and to <a href=\"https:\/\/substack.com\/home\/post\/p-146997332\">cease the Biden&rsquo;s administration continuation of Trump&rsquo;s tariffs<\/a>. Sounds strikingly similar to the GOP&rsquo;s old-guard agenda.<\/p>\n<p>It&rsquo;s almost as if Murdoch and his minions secretly want Trump-Vance to go down in flames. Their trashing of the national ticket suggests they would prefer to lose an election on terms they set rather than win one under priorities championed by Trump. It&rsquo;s all about control of conservative institutions and the party structure going forward.<\/p>\n<p>No wonder the GOP remains the Stupid Party, like the Conservative Party across the pond. As former Trump speechwriter <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Republican-Workers-Party-Victory-Everyone\/dp\/1641770066\">Frank Buckley<\/a> laments, it&rsquo;s &ldquo;legal fiction&rdquo; to think elected Republicans share &ldquo;the same political party.&rdquo; Per his accounting, we&rsquo;ve got Trump&rsquo;s national or presidential party (broadcast from Milwaukee two weeks ago), representing the voting class, vying against congressional party factions &mdash; from the Main Street Partnership and Freedom Caucus to maverick senators making a name for themselves &mdash; captive to the donor class.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike the unified Democrats, who quickly circled the wagons around a vulnerable Harris, and whose raison d&rsquo;&ecirc;tre is social liberalism or cultural Marxism, the GOP doesn&rsquo;t know what to stand for, with insiders piling on Vance, afraid of being consigned to the dust heap of political history.<\/p>\n<p>But if the Trump-Vance team can break through the all-out media war against the ticket, a full-court press being cheered on by GOP saboteurs, the Republicans will not only win back the White House but also ensure a future for the party and country that would make Theodore Roosevelt proud.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p>      Mr. Patterson was an associate commissioner for communications at the Social Security Administration, 2017&ndash;19. He also served as a speechwriter at the Department of Health and Human Services and the Small Business Administration under President George W. Bush. Bracketing his service to President Trump, Patterson was the 2016 Republican nominee in New Jersey&rsquo;s first congressional district and a 2020 GOP candidate in New Jersey&rsquo;s second congressional district.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When labor advocate Theodore Roosevelt assumed the presidency following William McKinley&#8217;s assassination, establishment figures like Sen. Mark Hanna, R-Ohio, were left stunned. Similarly alarmed by Donald Trump&#8217;s 2016 election victory, the wealthy elite experienced another shock when Trump recently selected Sen. J.D. Vance, R-Ohio, as his running mate\u2014signifying his intent to transform the GOP into a working-class coalition. Concerned about losing control of the party, The Wall Street Journal&#8217;s editors and anonymous GOP insiders joined forces with corporate media and Kamala Harris&#8217; campaign to disparage Ohio&#8217;s junior senator over comments he made in 2021 regarding certain prominent Democratic officials whom he referred to as &#8220;childless cat ladies.&#8221; They claimed his remarks were offensive to American women.<\/p>\n<p>The Journal criticized Vance for disrespecting &#8220;people who make different life choices,&#8221; despite his sarcasm being directed at a select group of Democrats currently in power\u2014a topic that seems fair game during an election cycle. Vance clarified elsewhere that he was not criticizing childless women in general or those facing challenges with conception.<\/p>\n<p>However, according to the Wall Street-K Street power structure, Vance&#8217;s true transgression lies in his belief that tax burdens should be lighter for young parents while heavier for those not raising future generations\u2014a stance that free-market purists find unacceptable. The Journal fears family considerations could complicate and distort tax policy; it has long opposed popular initiatives like expanding and making permanent the child tax credit that Vance supports.<\/p>\n<p>These skeptics yearn for a return to pre-Trump norms but overlook how such views align with historical American policies. For instance, President Ronald Reagan\u2019s appointees helped establish a $1,000 per-child tax credit through bipartisan efforts led by Sen. John Rockefeller IV during Bill Clinton\u2019s administration.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, they ignore Theodore Roosevelt\u2019s more progressive stance on family-centered economics; he advocated significantly higher taxes on childless individuals while favoring families with multiple children in taxation policies outlined in his final book.<\/p>\n<p>Historically speaking, Congress increased progressive taxation based on marital and parental status post-World War II under Republican leadership despite opposition from President Harry S. Truman\u2014favoring married couples over single individuals through various exemptions aimed at supporting working-class families.<\/p>\n<p>The internal strife within the party is not new; attacks against Vance began weeks ago as Murdoch&#8217;s media outlets urged Trump to choose anyone but him due to concerns about what this choice would signal for the party&#8217;s future.<\/p>\n<p>In their criticism of Vance\u2014now echoed by Harris\u2019 campaign\u2014the establishment appears aligned against expanding child tax credits while courting billionaire support who wish for Harris (if victorious) to dismiss antitrust advocates like Lina Khan and abandon tariffs initiated under Trump\u2014a platform reminiscent of traditional GOP agendas.<\/p>\n<p>It seems Murdoch and associates may prefer a loss under their terms rather than winning an election based on Trump&#8217;s priorities\u2014indicating their desire for control over conservative institutions moving forward.<\/p>\n<p>This internal conflict leaves Republicans struggling without clear direction compared to unified Democrats rallying around vulnerable candidates like Harris whose core beliefs center around social liberalism or cultural Marxism\u2014all while insiders attack figures like Vance out of fear of political irrelevance.<\/p>\n<p>If Trump-Vance can overcome this extensive media assault supported by GOP saboteurs against them, they could reclaim not only the White House but also secure a promising future for both their party and country\u2014one that would honor Theodore Roosevelt\u2019s legacy<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3342,"featured_media":2319207,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/53809516864_bcc12f6c4a_k.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[4188,12819,15469],"class_list":["post-2319206","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-media","tag-pro-family","tag-vance"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/53809516864_bcc12f6c4a_k.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2319206","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3342"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2319206"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2319206\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2319207"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2319206"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2319206"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2319206"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
