Barack Obama is no fool. He is not incompetent. To the contrary, he is
brilliant. He knows exactly what he's doing. He is purposely
overwhelming the U.S. economy to create systemic failure, economic
crisis and social chaos -- thereby destroying capitalism and our
country from within.
Barack Obama is my college classmate (Columbia University, class of
'83). As Glenn Beck correctly predicted from day one, Obama is
following the plan of Cloward & Piven, two professors
at Columbia University. They outlined a plan to socialize America by
overwhelming the system with government spending and entitlement
demands.
Add up the clues below. Taken individually they're alarming. Taken as
a whole, it is a brilliant, Machiavellian game plan to turn the United
States into a socialist/Marxist state with a permanent majority that
desperately needs government for survival ... and can be counted on to
always vote for bigger government. Why not? They have no
responsibility to pay for it.
-- Universal health care. The health care bill had very little to do
with health care. It had everything to do with unionizing millions of
hospital and health care workers, as well as adding 15,000 to 20,000
new IRS agents (who will join government employee unions). Obama
doesn't care that giving free health care to 30 million Americans will
add trillions to the national debt. What he does care about is that it
cements the dependence of those 30 million voters to Democrats and big
government. Who but a socialist revolutionary would pass this reckless
spending bill in the middle of a depression?
-- Cap and trade. Like health care legislation having nothing to do
with health care, cap and trade has nothing to do with global warming
It has everything to do with redistribution of income, government
control of the economy and a criminal payoff to Obama's biggest
contributors. Those powerful and wealthy unions and contributors (like
GE, which owns NBC, MSNBC and CNBC) can then be counted on to support
everything Obama wants. They will kick-back hundreds of millions of
dollars in contributions to Obama and the Democratic Party to keep
them in power. The bonus is that all the new taxes on Americans with
bigger cars, bigger homes and businesses helps Obama "spread the
wealth around."
-- Make Puerto Rico a state. Why? Who's asking for a 51st state? Who's
asking for millions of new welfare recipients and government
entitlement addicts in the middle of a depression? Certainly not
American taxpayers. But this has been Obama's plan all along. His goal
is to add two new Democrat senators, five Democrat congressman and a
million loyal Democratic voters who are dependent on big government.
-- Legalize 12 million illegal immigrants. Just giving these 12
million potential new citizens free health care alone could overwhelm
the system and bankrupt America. But it adds 12 million reliable new
Democrat voters who can be counted on to support big government. Add
another few trillion dollars in welfare, aid to dependent children,
food stamps, free medical, education, tax credits for the poor, and
eventually Social Security.
-- Stimulus and bailouts. Where did all that money go? It went to
Democrat contributors, organizations (ACORN), and unions -- including
billions of dollars to save or create jobs of government employees
across the country. It went to save GM and Chrysler so that their
employees could keep paying union dues. It went to AIG so that Goldman
Sachs could be bailed out (after giving Obama almost $1 million in
contributions). A staggering $125 billion went to teachers (thereby
protecting their union dues). All those public employees will vote
loyally Democrat to protect their bloated salaries and pensions that
are bankrupting America. The country goes broke, future generations
face a bleak future, but Obama, the Democrat Party, government, and
the unions grow more powerful. The ends justify the means.
-- Raise taxes on small business owners, high-income earners, and job
creators. Put the entire burden on only the top 20 percent of
taxpayers, redistribute the income, punish success, and reward those
who did nothing to deserve it (except vote for Obama). Reagan wanted
to dramatically cut taxes in order to starve the government. Obama
wants to dramatically raise taxes to starve his political opposition.
With the acts outlined above, Obama and his regime have created a vast
and rapidly expanding constituency of voters dependent on big
government; a vast privileged class of public employees who work for
big government; and a government dedicated to destroying capitalism
and installing themselves as socialist rulers by overwhelming the
system.
Add it up and you've got the perfect Marxist scheme -- all devised by
my Columbia University college classmate Barack Obama using the
Cloward and Piven Plan.
