Will Obama Be Re-elected By Turning The U.S. Into Detroit Writ Large?
IBD ^ | 4/30/2012 | THOMAS SOWELL

A small headline in the 2nd section of the Wall Street Journal last week told a bigger story than a lot of front-page banner headlines. It said, "U.S. Firms Add Jobs, but Mostly Overseas."

Just as there is no free lunch, there is no free class warfare. Some people may be inspired by President Obama's talk about making "the rich" pay their undefined "fair share" of taxes, or taking away corporations' "tax breaks." But talk is not always cheap. It can be very costly to those working people who are looking for jobs that the Obama administration's anti-business policies are driving overseas.

The difference is that Romney will negate some of the arguments for socialism by proving that capitalism works. A counter to that is that Romney could embrace corporatism although his would likely be a lot less than Obama’s green corporatism. Another counter is that after four more years of the obvious socialist Obama, and subsequent stagnation, that a truly conservative candidate will enter in 2016 to bring America back. Either way, it’s a gamble.
