...........LOPEZ: How do you defend a statement like “Regular Americans are his targets,” writing about the president of the United States?
CROWLEY: I am referring to Obama’s attitude toward tax revenue and how to squeeze it out of the American people. One of the hallmarks of his presidency has been the epic class warfare in which he’s been relentlessly engaged. He has constantly pounded “millionaires and billionaires,” the “1 percent,” “private-jet owners,” and “the wealthiest” as a way to stir populist resentments and a clamor for more socialist (er, “equalizing”) policies. (Set aside the hypocrisy in the fact that he’s more than happy to cash the fundraising checks from those evil capitalists, while cashing his own tax refund instead of sending it back to the U.S. Treasury.) When Obama talks about taxes, the dirty little secret is that he’s not interested in Warren Buffett’s money or Bill Gates’s money. Sure, he needs their money, but he also knows that if he were to confiscate 100 percent of their wealth, it would fund the federal government for a couple of weeks, max. He needs to go after the middle class, because that’s where the real money is. This is why he just said that he wants to raise the top marginal rate but is willing to extend the Bush tax rates for everyone else — for just one more year. After that, he intends to raise everyone’s rates, hitting the middle class with massive tax increases (not to mention the huge tax hikes coming with Obamacare that will disproportionately clobber the middle class). That’s where the true big money is, and he knows it. Hence, “real Americans are his targets.”.....

Well worth a full read.
Thier aim is at the middleclass, disolve it and you have equality in our lifetime and control
The unspoken truth about the War on Poverty is that you cannot raise some people up, regardless of how many programs, grants and giveaways they create.
So, the socialist solution is to bring everyone else down to their level, leaving more money for the elite to play with.
A little known fact: the Roman Republic had a large and thriving middle class. It was the middle class citizens of Rome that made it a great civilization.
But by 100 AD the Roman middle class, to all intents, had disappeared. They were taxed into oblivion, with entire families selling themselves into slavery to escape onerous taxes.
“Thier aim is at the middleclass, disolve it and you have equality in our lifetime and control”
It is worse than that; as these small businesses die on the vine, who do you think will receive the loans to replace them with other small businesses? You are watching the middle class be re-shaped through wealth re-distribution, until a sufficient number of blacks, Hispanics, and women own (I’m sure they won’t operate) the businesses that previously were owned by the white middle class (before the (before the Great Transformation). Affirmative action has destroyed this country, culminating in the election of a semi-literate token who needs to tote along his teleprompter to speak to grammar school children. It speaks volumes of just how deeply the soft bigotry of lowered expectations has permeated the soul of this country; the effects of this have been ignored for too long.
While many (rightfully) bemoaned the Supreme Court’s ObamaCare ruling, that pales in significance to the fact that it is legal (almost required) to hire a less qualified black, Hispanic, or woman for a position, or to consider them for promotion or college admissions. In the case of government contracts, it IS required to have a set racial/gender quota in effect.
White men in America needn’t consider the effects of the ObamaCare ruling; they’ve been legislated out of the workplace anyway.
To bring your idea down to gut level comprehension, consider if the rules required social fairness in sports period, much less professional sports. IN OTHER WORDS one fifth the population equals one fifth on the basketball court at any given time, or two point two on the football field.
There was a report last night on "Special Edition" on how Obama (through HHS) is planning to, again, circumvent Congress and waive the "work requirement" of the Welfare Reform Bill that was passed and signed during Clinton's adm. Under the "work or prepare to work" heart of that bill, welfare dropped in half and child poverty dramatically dropped.
Now Obama wants money paid out with no requirement to seek work.
Call your congressman and senators.
It is even worse; white male taxpayers are forced via taxes to fund projects that require 51% of the workers are minority/female (regardless of qualifications - that is why you often pass construction sights with five minority/female “workers” waving people past with flags...)
You are absolutely right, it IS a fantasic read.
I must say, Monica comes across much better in the written word than she does on the air. I’ve at times found her voice irritating to the point where I would tune out. And I long ago stopped watching any sort of conversation/discussion ala BOR with her and Alan Colmes, which always devolved into a shouting match. I’ll have to READ her words..but they are strong, on the mark and beautifully written.
Thank you for posting this.
I think Obama’s real aim is to reduce America to Second World Status overall, with Third World status guaranteed for certain areas.
He will do this by continuing to destroy the economy through confiscatory taxation to fund increasing levels of dependency, then when the majority of the country is safely addicted to government greenbacks, he knocks the bottom out of the dollar, reducing everyone’s buying power by half or even more.
Overnight, most people will be poor, banks will fail, commodity prices will go through the roof, and thousands of businesses will fail.
Mission accomplished. America will be finished as a world power.
