Anyone who wants to study the tricks of propaganda has a rich source of examples in the statements of President Barack Obama. On Monday, July 9, for example, he said that Republicans believe that prosperity comes from the top down, so that if we spend trillions more on tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans, that that will somehow unleash jobs and economic growth."Let us begin with the word spend. Is the government spending money on people whenever it does not tax them as much as it can?"
By posing a single question, Thomas Sowell at once illuminates a central truth and reveals the monstrous lie at the heart of Obamanomics.
