Obama’s War on the Middle Class

Obama is intent on cementing power based on the loyal support of the underclass and unionized labor. But to complete the task, he must deceive the middle classes for a bit longer by appearing to move to the center.

EXCERPTS:

Whenever he is in campaign mode, President Obama goes to great lengths to remind voters that he is “struggling to defend the middle class.”

It should be obvious that Obama and the left wing of the Democratic Party are not struggling to defend the middle class. Most of the time they are struggling to disenfranchise it by ignoring the basic rights of human liberty and of property that are guaranteed under our Constitution.

Whether it is the free health care promised to tens of millions of new Medicaid recipients or mortgage principle reductions (“cramdowns”) promoted at every turn by his Justice Department, Obama acts like a political general in the class war — the war of the government services-dependent poor and unionized public sector against the middle class.

Whether it is benefits for the underclass or more power for public sector unions, Obama is intent on cementing power based on the loyal support of the underclass and unionized labor. But to complete the task, he must deceive the middle classes for a bit longer by appearing to move to the center. The independent middle class voter, the very class of citizen that is most endangered by his presidency, is key to his reelection. In order to win reelection, he convince them he is safe.
But nothing Obama has done has benefited the middle class. That much should be clear just from what is happening with consumers’ pocketbooks.
