Where has this scenario played out before? Obama and his lackies should have waited for at least another generation. There’s still too many people around who remember the bad old days of the soviet union. The crap obama is spewing sounds like it just came out of the kremlin. Sorry obama, there may be a lot of ignorant people in this country, but there’s not quite enough for what you may be planning.

Hmmm?

Exactly, and Obama and his ilk have another foe that won’t be so easy to control - technology. More people are able to telecommute now and are free to pick up and move to wherever they want to live.

In some ways, it’s a good thing that government is so incompetent. It can’t enforce it’s own schemes. As P.J. O’Rourke said, even if government had a camera in every room in your house, at least half of them wouldn’t be working. ;-)

“by discouraging driving with a blizzard of taxes, fees, and regulations.”

Georgia’s TSPLOST tax was to do exactly that, sucking another 1% to persuade residents into metro areas.
It was subjected to a vote.
It was crushed by nearly 2 to 1.

We can say “NO”.

The goal: income equalization via a massive redistribution of suburban tax money to the cities.

Isn't the main source of funding for ObamaCare a massive redistribution of money from the young to those aged 40-65? I sense a theme. All our money is theirs to spread around at will . . . so that everyone "benefits" as the socialists define that word.

To see the effects of such a scheme, one only has to look at the Kansas City Metropolitan area. Under the terms of a Federal school integration case, the Kansas City School district was put under the control of a federal judge for something like 20 or 30 years. He had full control, to include the ability to raise taxes in suburban counties surrounding Kansas City. He used this authority to raise the taxes in surrounding counties and used the money to spend lavishly on Kansas City Schools with no improvement in educational attainment.

His authority, however, did not extend to suburban counties in Kansas, some of which were literally right across the street from KC MO. Their taxes were not raised and their tax dollars were no poured into the KC money pit. Those counties grew and thrived, Missouri counties declined. People voted with their feet and the net result was economic decline on the Missouri side and growth and prosperity on the Kansas side (except for KC MO’s lttle urban twin, KC, KS.)

Where this scheme is implemented, suburbs will immediately start to decline. Rural areas outside whatever new boundaries are drawn will spring to life with growth as people flee from this oppressive black hole.

Not to worry - 0bama’s Rural Pacification program will deal with us pesky rural bitter clingers:

Drone overflights, declaring things like dust and milk as EPA-regulated ‘pollutants,’ control and cutoff of water...

You get the picture.

Ubama is just following Agenda 21.

The goal of United Nation's Agenda 21 is to zone private property out of existence and herd all non-essential humanoids into high-rise containment facilities where they can be inventoried and tracked more easily until the time for the Final Solution arrives.

Aha, but guess what? The ilk have an answer for technology, and that is called electricity. When they have shut down all the coal plants and torn down the dams, and opened all the wind and solar farms, there will be shortages, and they will be forced to dictate where the electricity goes. Smart meters, ever heard of them? They will be used to ration electricity. They can turn you on and off at a whim. Welcome to India, my friends.

Aww, why did you have to rain on my parade? ;-)

I refuse to give up hope. I think people will always find a way around the dinosaurs in government. It may not be easy, but it will be done.

ABSOLUTELY, UNEQUIVOCALLY.
