OBAMANOMICS AND CHANGE
The watchword of the Obama campaign was “Change” – BIG change. And his efforts are now being put to the test. “Change ” is a good word. It conveys a positive connotation. ” I am for change, change is good, so vote for me”. And he rode the wave of change all the way to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. Gotta hand it to him.
Fundamentally, there are two ways of achieving major political (governmental) change. The quick route is by force. Overthrow the status quo – seize power by force – suppress or suspend individual freedoms – enhance the role of big government – limit the power of the press – create the police state.
THAT’S CALLED REVOLUTION
The second way to implement major change is more gradual and more peaceful but just as devastating. Control Congress and the court system. Enlist a friendly media. Downplay individual freedoms and rights. Stress the “common good”. Dominate the TV and written media sources. Attack the successful people and criticize wealth. Apologize for our competitive successes. Share the wealth and redistribute income.
THAT’S CALLED TAXATION
Sound familiar? We are witnessing a major try at Choice # 2
