In spite of President Obama’s slick candor and a sympathetic media, the devices he uses to create his centrally “governed” society are vulnerable.
Like an underdeveloped nation torn between wealthy landowners and the struggling poor, President Obama is careening America toward third-worldism. Washington DC is now the land of the elite, while middle-class wealth withers and the ranks of dependents swell. This gap between the connected rich and the dependent poor is the lifeblood of totalitarians.
Rulers rely on compassionate sounding schemes like affordable housing, social justice and Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Programs to create legions of dependents.
