Why does Barack Obama want to harm Americans? It's personal.
The Virginian ^ | 9/13/2010 | Moneyrunner

Posted on 09/13/2010 7:16:26 PM PDT by moneyrunner

Let’s cut to the chase. How many jobs are created by poor people? Barack Obama wants to take money away from “rich” people, mostly small business owners – the people who create most of the jobs in the economy – despite the fact that doing so means that they will not hire the unemployed.

Some say that they are not sure if he understands this or not. Some people believe that he is using the Cloward-Pivin strategy to drive the political system to the brink by making the poor and unemployed class so large as to destroy the free enterprise economy. The question is, if he is not doing this as a way of creating an economic crisis, is he doing it from ignorance or malice.

Raising taxes on people who hire other people is destructive to the economy; most especially in an economy in recession. All serious economists agree. Most people who are not immersed in class warfare intuitively understand this.

He defends his proposal based on the cost of extending the current tax rates to those earning over $250,000, but that rationale is blindingly disingenuous. After spending literally trillions of dollars in a flurry of rapid-fire economic laws, frugality from this president is simply not believable. ... There is one other perspective on Obama’s rationale. Dinesh D’Sousa’s fascinating article about Obama as his father’s son, ...

Obama is a loser. He’s always been a loser. Now, he wants the rest of us to be losers just like he is. His bowing to everyone crap really has to go. It’s unAmerican. REAL Americans don’t bow to anybody.

Obama and his running dog lackeys have their minds trapped in the 19th Century. They are literally unable to deal with Modern Times!

This is a failure of the education system ~ public and private ~ students have NOT been forced to learn Calculus in highschool, or to take more than a semester of chemistry, or deal with solid geometry, or maybe even Engineering 101 by their junior year of highschool.

This can be fixed. Our future generations of lawyers won't like it but the failure to educate these people eventually creates a political class that cannot perform in relationship to the national environment.

Obama’s only real job was at a fast food restaurant. He’s been a ‘community organizer’ and politician and part time law professor. He had no wealth until he cashed in on his fame with a book deal (the book ghostwritten for him). His wife was the money earner and she was given a huge pay raise when he won the U.S. Senate seat (and got a grant for her hospital).

He’s set up nicely for an Al Gore-style career as public speaker and ‘green jobs’ CEO. Democrats give less than Republicans. They feel that charity must be legislated and controlled by the government.

Zero can’t destroy free enterprise. When one makes the mistake of believing the propaganda of the enemy one has lost already. “Free enterprise” is NOT an “alternative theory to Marxism.” Free interprise is the Truth, the default state, like gravity. They can invent a mechanism to counter it for a while but ultimatley it requires so much energy it cannot continue and then when the mechanism fails, gravity returns. (Or as Thatcher said, “Socialism only works until you run out of other people’s money.”) The same with Free Enterprise. If “the system fails” it doesn’t default to Marrxism no matter how many smart perfessers like CLoward and Piven say it will. Like the Soviet Union in 1917, it may take 75 years for “gravity” to reassert itself and unspeakable horrors will take place but gravity and free markets are the truth. Marxism is an illusion.
Now why in the world folks are willing to let “government of the people, for the people, and by the people perish from the earth” is beyond me but old Abe is probably spinning in his grave these days.

Yeah... and when these people are hungry, out in the cold street and out of a job, they will be the first to revolt. Is that what Oblameo wants?

Here's another fascinating comment on this subject, written a year ago by an American of Nigerian descent:

Obama, The African Colonial.

This analysis is not going away. And there's a reason for that.

An excellent article from a different, but related perspective: this one is by a European economist who demonstrates that Obama's policies and, essentially, worldview are not American.

My theory is that obama's plan is totally dependent on timing.

Somehow, he's got to finish his rout to the change to Sharia law, but he has a problem, the November elections.

His eternal "lying" about the economy and other issues is more "stalling" than "lying". He's trying to tell us all that "it's coming, it's coming", meaning more jobs and an economy rebound. But it's just "stalling"...stalling for one more stimulus, one more czar in place, stalling until his "army" is assembled and ready.

He loves the word "tolerance"...but from him that only means "sit down and shut up until I figure out how to get ride of you white people".

He's not lying to win elections, he's trying to "stall" us until he can find the right opening to "do the coup".

Finally, those interested in psychodynamics should read up on the “father wound.”

Very good article. It’s coming from an economic viewpoint, but is essentially saying what (Canada Free Press?) said: “Without America, there is no free world.” Other nations who see America as a beacon of prosperity and freedom are nervously wringing their hands on our behalf.

I'm not so sure. Throughout history tyranny has been the rule, and liberty the occasional respite.

Got guns?

I have lived life on both sides of the poverty line, and never once have I resorted to violence to feed and house myself.
Once, I stole food.
(Only that one time at a 7-11, I stole a single honeybun because I was starving, broke, and sixteen, and I have since repaid that crime 1000 times over via charity)

I know how painfull “hungry and homeless” feels.

I also know how to cure it, honorably, through an exchange of honest labor for honest wages.

The problem is the rich were not totally innocent to the problems in our country and the financial meltdown of Wall Street. Some of the rich used their political connections to weaken banking rules and lobbied to have regulators look the other way while they violated rules governing mortgages and ratings of investment products. They even invented new schemes that regulators do not even understand other than a handful of techie insiders. Given access to huge amounts of money, very little regulator oversight, political connections in both parties and technical knowledge that few can understand, a small group of men now have power that no one ever envisioned and power also means the ability to conduct white collar crimes before the regulators catch on and investors get bilked. What makes this even outrageous is these criminals were able to threaten government with national economic collapse unless they get a taxpayer bailout. With all their losses covered by bailouts, these CEO’s instruct their payroll that they met the performance criterias for bonuses!!!!!!
There are many rich small businesses that support illegal immigrations and dump the medical costs onto the US taxpayers. Others use the threat to move the factories overseas to gain tax concessions from local and state governments only to use the breaks to free up money to set up a factory in China and India. Within three years they closed anyway. That is why many Main Street blue collar voters who should naturally support the GOP then left wing Dems vote Dem because of the GOP blind faith in rich businessmen.
Freepers need to be reminded that businessmen with liberal big government liberals have formed and unholy alliance for the last 20 years to destroy US sovereignty and national identity to prepare our society to be a free trading globalist society where some will make tons of money and others will have to compete against the cheap labor of the China and India.
You will be surprise on how many big corporations want government run health care so they can dump it on the taxpayers. How many freepers know that bankers public complain about the financial reform but love it privately. Under this reform, future TARP do not require Congressional approval. The consumer credit card protections can be circumvented with re classifying your credit card from consumer card to professional upgrade card. You will be treated as a business card holders and government assumes you ar business savy then a consumer thus be more responsible in paying your expenses within 14 days while consumers are givened more time.
The other thing is Wall Street, Chicago commodities, bankers in West Coast, and High Tech all supported Obama in 2008. I did love the irony because he turned out to be their biggest nightmare (unless you are a banker on Wall Street). The next POTUS needs to placate the public by investigating the fraud and white collar crimes of 2008. Liar loans and who in banking encouraged it. Rating mortgage backed securitie riddled with liar loans as AAA no risk investments and who in the rating agencies knew and encouraged it. Last banking crisis (S & L) about 800 bankers, executives, accountants, real estate investors, brokers, assessors and etc faced investigations, trials, convictions, fines, revocation of licenses and yes even PRISON time. It has been three years since September 2008, anyone gone to jail other then Madoff????

Not every American has such stellar morals or such a sense of strong personal ethics, and I think Oblameo is counting on it. The people I am referring to are the folks who are accustomed to government being in the place of God, handing everything to them, so when the gravy train stops, then what?

The Obamas are living well. They are employed until 2012 and have access to millions after that. His economic decisions will have no, zero, nada effect on the Obama family. If he can achieve his father's dream of destroying private enterprise in this, the heart of capitalism, he will have achieved the dreams his father had that he passed on to little Barry.

--------------------------------------

Look at what we have become in 18 months.

Obama, the king and master of nothing, kills America financially and when the economy realizes some growth again, those waiting to get rehired as managers and engineers start to find they have to work two jobs as cashiers and janitors.

Barry must be thrilled. Time for some hoops. Time for some ice cream. Time for a swim. Up yours America.

Liar = Obama.

Cheater = Feds.

Thief = Congress.

Con artist = Piss-Stream Media.

Throw 'em all out.

Because he doesn’t give a rat’s patoot about any of us. He knows something we don’t. He’s living high on the hog and laughing at us. That’s what I think. He knows something big is about to happen - something we don’t know about - so he doesn’t care.

Yes, tyranny has been the state impressed on man by tyrants but “the law of the Serengeti” preexisted that. Or perhaps, in another sense, when bands of men took clubs to other bands of men that was the beginning of tyranny.
