Obama's Anti-Middle-Class Economics

[Sonny Clark]

Time and again, the 'reliable Democrat voters' pretend that the party they grovel for has the interests of the common man, the middle class, the less-than-wealthy, at its heart.

The following disabuses that notion.



1."After less than two weeks, President Obama has dropped his plan to tax withdrawals from the “529″ college savings plans widely used by middle-class parents.

2. It was an outright money grab at the expense of people who are so foolish as to actually save for their children’s education. Considering how the government has done everything possible to drive up the cost of higher education, forcing millions of young people into debt, the idea of then taxing their parents for trying to save for college is simply monstrous.

3. ... it was almost insanely suicidal. What politician in his right mind proposes a tax aimed narrowly at the middle class, and at such a universally accepted good as education?




4. ....this is a desperate move by those who need to finance ever bigger government and are simply going where the money is: the vast American middle class.

5. ....champions of big government would be slavering over the very thing that defines the middle class, its savings. As she points out, 529s are not the first target. There have already been trial balloons about raiding 401(k)s and IRAs.




6. The truly committed leftist looks upon our private savings as a vast reserve of capital unfairly withheld from its proper function of servicing the needs of the state.




7. ... not so much a rational calculation about how to finance the behemoth state. This is an admission by a man who has no more election campaigns to run, and therefore no pragmatic constraints, about his real outlook and real preferences. A president who just a few weeks ago hailed the triumph of a supposed “middle-class economics” is revealing his hatred and contempt for the middle class.



8.[Then there is the chimera:] “middle-class economics.” To begin with, there is no such theory, program, or school of thought. It is possible to name what “supply side economics” consists of, and it is even possible to describe “Keynesian economics.” But “middle-class economics” just refers to whatever grab bag of programs Obama championed that he now wants to take credit for. Plus a few things, like domestic oil production, that he actively opposed but still wants to take credit for.

9. Obama’s actual economic policy has included a lot of priorities that are definitely not aimed at the middle class, such as his fight for the indefinite extension of unemployment benefits. A proposal that subsidizes people for not working is, by definition, not “middle class economics.”

10. ... finally, he has shown us what he really thinks of the middle class."
Anti-Middle-Class Economics What Obama s 529 Grab Revealed

I agree that Mr. Obama couldn't care less about this country, nor its citizens, that's obvious. But, it's not JUST Mr. Obama, it's the entire Washington Brotherhood, no exceptions. Mr. Obama is just doing what many before him have done. What we're seeing and experiencing now, has its roots as far back as the 50's and 60's. Our steady socioeconomic decline has been a work in progress since shortly after WWII when we began rebuilding Japan's economy. It's true that during that time, we've had many peaks and valleys, and at times, things have looked rosy and bright for the future. But, the wheels of socioeconomic devastation have been in constant motion the whole time, even when everything appeared to be going great, those wheels were spinning in the background.

I know and understand that people don't see that the government is self-serving, power mongers, and awash in corruption, from top to bottom. Instead of stepping back and looking at the "reality", they are constantly blaming one political party or the other. This division is playing right into the hands of those doing us the most harm. We do NOT have representation in government. Every single member of "The Washington Brotherhood" is collectively working against the citizens of this once great nation.

Another pathetically stupid rant from the Policunigal - who knows fuck all about Politics, public policy, economics.

You know, that stuff smart people know...

The hours she spends writing NOTHING of value is staggering.

She can't have a real job. Speaking of which, I gotta get to work.

The hours she spends reading and studying is even more staggering.

How so? The material is redundant??

What continues to attract you to her informative posts then?

 

[Ava]

Now people are seeing why Obama's resume lacks any career accomplishments before politics, he's a moron.

He's worse than that, in my opinion. He is a traitor, who got where he is by lying through his teeth and idiots bought it, not once but twice.

Apparently you missed the part where he's NOT doing this.

Apparently you missed the fact that even suggesting such a thing should set off major alerts and warnings in the American public.

He was throwing it out there, see how it works...just another bad idea, that should have stayed in his head....

You mischaracterize Obama's plan.

It was a great big foot in mouth.....

The OP is rather specific....the middle class tax was not proposed by Republicans.

Now....get off the fence and put some effort into your opinion.

 

[PoliticalChic]

11. "....the 529 proposal is that it was coupled with a proposal for two free years of community college.

Working to get our kids ready for a four-year college—academically and financially—is what the middle class does.

There is perhaps no activity that is more middle-class-ish than that.

And you can see why: it’s our way of ensuring that the next generation stays in the middle class. We’re not well-off enough to give them multi-million-dollar inheritances, but we are well-off enough to give them an education that will qualify them for a white-collar job.

... a sacred obligation. But do that, and Obama thinks you should get taxed. On the other hand, if you put aside no money and send your kid for a community college education that will qualify him, at most, for high-end blue-collar work, Obama thinks you should get a subsidy."
