There can be no doubt that Obama knows that these confiscations do not work yet he has committed the same sins here himself and now, by nationalizing healthcare, he is reaching out to control every seventh dollar spent in the American economy . The rest he will control through cap and trade if he can.
I cannot but believe that the human consequences of these actions are a matter of indifference to both men.
Nor do I. In fact the consequences will be the intended consequences: The redistribution of wealth as defined my Marxist thinking.
I DO believe that Obama sees the wealth of the United States as a means to redress past actions and create "equality". His mindset has been cultivated his entire life by Marxists and statists.
I wrote a thread about how Obama sees his life and the responsibility he believes he's been given.
We're also doing away with the unnecessary giveaways that have thrown our tax code out of balance. I said this during the campaign, I'm now saying it as President: We need to stop giving tax breaks to companies that stash profits or ship jobs overseas so we can invest in job creation here at home. And we need to end the tax breaks for the wealthiest 2 percent of Americans, so that people like me, who are extraordinarily lucky, are paying the same rates that the wealthiest 2 percent of Americans paid when Bill Clinton was President.
Occasionally he lets the truth slip out. He does not believe that wealth is created - it's either stolen or misplaced into the hands of the "extraordinarily lucky". Hence the need to redress that and what better way to insulate yourself from the pain of redistribution than to be the one in charge of it?
He and Chavez think a lot alike. "Let's redistribute the wealth and let's be the ones doing it."
Obama is also a purely narcissistic creature that lives to see himself in the pool of water known as the media.
Is there any doubt in your mind that Obama thinks both shadows on the wall behind him belong to him?
