Obama’s Class Warfare: Socialism Under the Guise of ‘change’

There is an old Russian saying “Everyone wants to be equal…. with the rich”.

It’s ironic such a saying would come up in Russian parlance, given the long history of communist ideology in that country should demonstrate so very clearly that a command and control economy doesn’t make such equality happen… in fact it’ lends itself to the opposite happening.

So, along comes Joe Biden the other day, explaining the position of the Obama/Biden ticket, in one short line:

We want to take money and put it in the pockets of the middle class people…

The whole of the Obama campaign, thusfar, has been about fanning the flames of class warfare, and given the history of the Democrat party we shouldn’t be thinking there’s going to be any chance of a change in this.  Of the last 8 years, we’ve heard nothing but “Bush tax cuts for the Rich” and ‘crackdowns on CEO pay” and other such easily disproved nonsense… but because it so easily feeds into the mantra the Democrats have been chanting for 60 years, now,  it’s been a non-stop drumbeat. Indeed, the speeches Obama has made bear a striking resemblence to Totalitarian regimes of the recent post… Stalin, for example. Hitler for another., where sacrifice to the state is held highest, in the name of ‘equality’ of course.

Now, make no mistake; I think Bill O’Reilly is a bombastic horse’s ass. But he’s been right on the money with Obama so far, and particularly so when he pointed out that Obama’s rhetorical calls for ‘economic fairness’ are in fact nothing more than socialistic ‘economic redistribution’ as was attempted, but never achieved in the Russian culture, despite Simon-pure adherence to socialism. Obama, knowing this to be his personal third rail, backed off the question, and sadly, O’Reilly let him off the hook.

Thing is, this comment from Biden has brought all of this back into sharp focus.  So while this spotlight is turned on it, let’s look closely.

The economic redistribution sought by the Democrats is proposed as a moral crusade, but ironically, makes no mention of whose money they’re talking about taking… more correctly, stealing. Isn’t stealing immoral?

I’d point out further, as I have several times here and elsewhere that we’re currently in a financial meltdown because we tried boosting the degree of home-ownership for the ‘have nots’, by forcing banks to lend money to people with no credit… certainly such policy is also based on income redistribution. Look what that’s bought us. Think Obama’s additional socialism is going to change anything for the better?

Obama seems to be operating from the basic socialistic premise that the economy is a zero sum game… something that was soundly disproved in the Reagan years and since. But how did Reagan prove this? By removing attempts to punish achievers, and celebration of achievement. Along comes Obama/Biden…

We want to take money and put it in the pockets of the middle class people…

… reversing all of that, and ignoring the lessons Reagan taught us. Given the indications of history… both ours and the Russians, Obama is a mistake we as a nation cannot afford to make.
