Leading Economist Morici: Obama Has “Put a Pistol to the Head of the Middle Class” (Video)
The Gateway Pundit ^ | 12/30/12 | Jim Hoft

Posted on 12/30/2012 12:41:55 PM PST by Nachum

Economist Peter Morici had this to say this morning about Obama’s fiscal cliff negotiating tactics:

“The president, by being so persistent that it’s my way or the highway, no spending cuts, taxes on folks over $250,000 or nothing, has basically put a pistol to the head of the middle class. It’s threatened them with financial extortion if he doesn’t get his way to satisfy the populist wing of the Democratic Party.”

And the middle class dutifully responded by saying “hey, OK, shoot me, you seem like a nice man, and everything you’ve promised so far has come true, it’ll only hurt for an instant” completely forgetting that their brains will be splattered on the sidewalk by the nice man.

“dear Jim Hoft”.... you need to be aware.... before you start printing goop ask more questions, do some research....
More people need to see this....it thoroughly addresses the issue.

Go have a look @ Vimeo.com and search on Agenda: Grinding America Down,

better yet,

http://vimeo.com/52009124

Then take two aspirin and call me in the morning!

It connects the dots, crosses the t’s and dots the i’s. The only thing it does not touch on is Obama and his muslim roots and sympathies. Between the two, we have a nasty cocktail of marxist-muslim who’s singular goal is to take down America. Actually , its a double header. Take down America and you take down western man. In the meanwhile he has his proxy the MB lining up in rank and file to go whack Israel.

Whatever happens to Israel, happens to us and europe. Not necessarily in that order.

“...threatened them with financial extortion if he doesn’t get his way to satisfy the populist wing of the Democratic Party.”

Why surprised?

Ponygirl quoted this on another thread this morning - it is very appropriate:

“And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?... The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin’s thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If...if...We didn’t love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation.... We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.”

-Aleksandr I. Solzhenitsyn

WE DIDN’T LOVE FREEDOM ENOUGH...WE HAD NO AWARENESS OF THE REAL SITUATION...

The above is why I keep repeating the same facts about Obama - he is a self-avowed Marxist/Leninist, a communist, an atheist who has a bottomless hole where his soul should be, from which only evil issues.

And if he shoots the middle class he’s only hastening his own demise. Who else is going to pay for all those entitlement programs? There’s this old story about a Golden Goose he needs to read before he sets this idea in stone.

He isn’t worried about that. Who is paying for them now? We use borrowed money and printed dollars.

As far as Odinga is concerned, the middle class is a bump in the road, something to be eliminated and subjugated.

As far as money, the basturd controls the printing presses, he does not need the middle classes money. Just crank up the printing presses.

He has gotten a free pass on everything he has done so far. F&F, Bengazi, running rough shod over the Constitution and the States, etc. Nothing stopping him from printing money for his “people”.

My friend, he hasn’t the slightest concern along those lines. Yeah, he’ll kill the golden goose. It’s his declared aim. We’re the goose. We’ll be dead.

Yep. That's right.

You have to give Obama an "over the shoulder acknowledgement"...he is going all the way.

Knowing what a chicken he is, he must have an exit strategy (in case of failure to collapse America) that he believes is fail-safe.

This is the long dreamed of "death to America" (by Leftists and Muslims).
