No surprise here. This HC crap has got to be stopped!
That is the problem.
In a mathematical sense, the Obama's see economics as nothing more complex than addition and subtraction.
The wealth of the world, as Michelle has said, is nothing more than a "pie." For the poor to have anything, it must be "subtracted" from that pie owned by the wealthy.
If Obama (and Michelle) had studied mathematics (at least up to calculus), they would understand that the human activity is not linear. The pie grows as we work.
The more people are encouraged to engage in business (particularly their own), the bigger and bigger the pie becomes.
It has become increasingly clear that Obama and Michelle must have avoided the study of mathematical dynamics. Such is completely understandable because, in math, there is little room for "affirmative action"...you either get it or you don't.
The Obamas don't!
