Season 4 Podcast 39 “What is Equality Pt III”

Season 4 Podcast 39 “What is Equality Pt III”Obama does not like the free enterprise system because some do really well, and others barely get by. He, like the other liberals, thinks like a Marxist. That is why he likes redistribution of wealth. Obama, and I am speaking of the liberal left, does not like the free market system. In his First Inaugural Address Obama said:Nor is the question before us whether the market is a force for good or ill. Its power to generate wealth and expand freedom is unmatched, but this crisis has reminded us that without a watchful eye, the market can spin out of control—the nation cannot prosper long when it favors only the prosperous. The success of our economy has always depended not just on the size of our Gross Domestic Product, but on the reach of our prosperity; on the ability to extend opportunity to every willing heart—not out of charity, but because it is the surest route to our common good.Mr. Obama is very good at manipulating words. While pretending to praise the free market system, he immediately condemns it. Examine the major propositions of the above:1.         Without a watchful, the market can spin out of control2.         The nation cannot prosper long when it favors only the prosperous3.         The success of our economy depends upon the reach of our prosperity4.         The success of our economy depends upon the ability to extend opportunity to every willing heartHiring 80,000 new IRS agents, Obamacare, and the 31 trillion-dollar debt are proof of Obama’s intent.Now just take those assertions alone and read between the lines. “Without a watchful eye,” of course, means the watchful eye of Big Brother, the government. Goodbye free enterprise, goodbye to allowing the market to right itself. It means greater government control. Favoring only the prosperous means to take their wealth and redistribute it to the poor which is confirmed by the assertion “the success of our economy depends upon the reach of our prosperity.” In other words, the prosperous must share their wealth with the unprosperous. That leads to his fifth assertion which, to be more accurate, should have been written this way5.     Redistribution of wealth is the surest route to our common goodI always cringe at the phrase “common good.” It does derive from commune and communism. It always means socialism. Who decides the common good?  Those in power, of course. He claims it is not charity, but what else can it be when he is taking from the rich and giving to the poor? The left is in denial when it comes to language, but in actions they are fully committed socialists. The left thinks it knows what is best for us. As Mr. Obama said, free enterprise is not my idea of America. In Obama’s Commencement Speech at Ohio State he said“Too many on Wall Street forgot that their obligations don’t end with what’s happening with their shares.”What is their obligation if not to look at their own shares? Do you see how subtle the language of socialism is? “fair share,” “lucky few,” “redistribution of wealth,” “pool resources,” "fair shot,” “giving everybody a chance to do well,” “common good,” “fair shake.” In short, those who fail will be supported by the government. How else can you read the following? To care for the sick and the vulnerable and provide a basic level of protection from falling into abject poverty in the wealthiest nation on Earth.  How do you keep people from falling into abject poverty if they don’t want to work? The government solution is to give the poor entitlements, increased welfare, and free money, but that is but a steppingstone to communism who wants to do away with money and property and rights of inheritance, private bank, and free enterprise.
