He hasn’t called anyone an “evildoer” or denounced an “axis of evil.” But make no mistake: President Obama is putting together an enemies list.
Strangely, though, those on it are not terrorists or foreign dictators. They are mostly Americans lucky enough to have succeeded through capitalism and democracy.
In the President’s words, they are guilty of being “special interests” and “lobbyists.” The Bush-era tax cuts were merely “an excuse to transfer wealth to the wealthy” and he will bring fairness by raising taxes on “the wealthiest 2% of Americans.”
His barbs flow almost daily, faulting corporate leaders for “greed” and shirking “a sense of responsibility.” And sometimes he suggests the problem is criminal, as when he defended his plan for an expanded government push into health insurance as necessary “to keep the private sector honest.”
Obama Engages in Class Warfare With His Campaign for Democratic Lawmakers
President Barack Obama is returning to the rhetorical roots of Democratic politics in the final weeks of this election: setting up a battle of the classes.
Presenting Democrats as the party that will fight for the “middle class,” and Republicans as the party that will look out for “millionaires and billionaires,” Obama in campaign speeches and at fundraisers has sought to make his point using a populist lexicon that aligns Republicans with big businesses as the forces behind the worst recession since the Great Depression.
RNC: Obama playing on ‘class warfare and race’
The Republican National Committee Tuesday night accused President Obama of making “an appeal based on class warfare and race” after Obama outlined his party’s midterm strategy of returning people who voted for the first time in 2008 to the polls in November.
Obama, in a video released this week, spoke in the demographic terms more commonly — though very commonly — used by political consultants, saying Democrats must appeal to “young people, African-Americans, Latinos, and women who powered our victory in 2008 [to] stand together once again.”
And the fomenting of hate has now become part of the daily lexicon. One cannot watch or listen to the news without hearing of “tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans.” Class warriors have taken that ground. The wealthy are the enemy.
And now Obama’s Class War has seen its first action:
Police and fire officials are investigating an arson fire in Sandwich that has a disturbing similarity with a suspicious incident in Barnstable.
In both cases, the arsonist left a calling card, the message, “(expletive) the rich” at the scene.
At 3:30 a.m. on Nov. 24, flames engulfed an unoccupied home still under construction at 16 Boulder Brook Road in Sandwich. Only the exterior of the house had been completed. The home, which was valued at $500,000, had a three-car garage and three bedrooms, but no plumbing or electric service, Sandwich Fire Chief George Russell said.
The heavy damage burned much of the evidence. But the state Fire Marshal’s Office was recently able to rule that an arsonist had set the fire, Russell said.
The following week, on Dec. 2, incendiary devices were found at 43 Trotters Lane in Marstons Mills, law enforcement officials said.
At Trotters Lane, the message “(expletive) the rich,” was clearly spray painted on a fence on the property, Barnstable police Det. John York said.
“F*ck the rich”
Never mind that Obama is a flaming liar:
“When they expire in two years, I will fight to end them,” Obama said. “Just as I suspect the Republican Party may fight to end the middle-class tax cuts that I’ve championed and that they’ve opposed.”
Never mind that the rich pay more than ever before and there are more paying no Federal taxes than ever before.
In 2006, the latest available year from CBO, the top 20 percent of income earners paid 86.3 percent of all federal income taxes, an all-time high.[1] This is an increase of over 6 percent from 2000, when the top 20 percent paid 81.2 percent. During the same period, the bottom four quintiles all saw their share of the federal income tax burden fall sharply:
The bottom 20 percent of income earners’ share of federal income taxes fell from -1.6 percent in 2000 to -2.8 percent in 2006;
The next 20 percent’s share declined from 1.1 percent to -0.8 percent;
The middle quintile’s share dropped from 5.7 percent to 4.4 percent; and
The fourth quintile’s share decreased from 13.5 percent to 12.9 percent.
No, we need to kill the rich. They are the source of all evil. If only they were dead everything would be better. Let’s start by burning their homes. Then we’ll use the pitchforks on the survivors. In hand to hand combat we’ll hit them twice as hard. We’ll kick their asses. Bring a gun. It’s time to fight for it. Punish your enemies.
No one in over 150 years has divided this country more than Barack Obama. He disgusts me.
Update:
In another incident, man shoots up School Board meeting. Reason? The evil wealthy!
My Testament: Some people (the government sponsored media) will say I was evil, a monster (V)… no… I was just born poor in a country where the Wealthy manipulate, use, abuse, and economically enslave 95% of the population. Rich Republicans, Rich Democrats… same-same… rich… they take turns fleecing us… our few dollars… pyramiding the wealth for themselves. The 95%… the us, in US of A, are the neo slaves of the Global South. Our Masters, the Wealthy, do, as they like to us…
