Perhaps Hussein could tell us a bit about his brothers in Kenya and his recently discovered aunt in Boston?
So does this mean Michelle isn’t ‘proud’ anymore?
That was short-lived...
The root cause America’s problems IS selfishness, but not on the part of the people who are actually paying America’s bills! The truly selfish are the politicians and the folks who want something for nothing.
The writer makes an excellent point.
When Obama talks about distributing the wealth he is in fact talking about concentrating power. And concentrating power always concentrates wealth.
The way you truly distribute wealth is by distributing power to the lowest common denominator; to the individual first, and to enterprises and institutions that spring up organically from among individuals.
If you feel powerless in a society in which the wealth of the nation is held by the people who invest and risk to build it and produce it, you will be sadly disappointed when that wealth is controlled from the center by the men in suits. Your life will not be better; it will be less, smaller, constricted, and you will always be dependent upon your betters. Because centralized power never returns power to the people, it always gives birth to a ruling class.
Right now we have a ruling class made up of business owners who have turned their mechanic shop into wealth, their little farm, their little roofing business, their little software business, their little medical office... Thats where the wealth and power is held in America. OBama wants to end all that, because these people don’t need him and will never need him. He’ll build a system in which nothing happens without permission from the center, and nothing you build is ever really yours.
