Social engineers love to wax poetic about their eternal devotion to the middle class, but their highest goal is to subdue it. This can be done with dependency, which can be created by combining high unemployment with long-term public benefits that slowly mutate into an immense welfare program.
The golden dream of socialists is the control of health care, which forever changes the relationship between citizens and their government, creating a permanent bureaucracy with roots that tap into blood and bone.
The middle class can also be weakened by destroying its mobility, and destroying the value of its property. Above all, the accumulation of vast government debt is a weight poised above the heads of the reluctant middle class.
Eventually that debt will become unbearable… and if enough of the populace is so dependent on government spending that it cannot be reduced, debt becomes the irresistible leverage for tax increases on the middle class.
Have you found the economic policies of President Barack Obama to be confusing and incomprehensible? They’re not.
Everything he has done is part of an effort to solve the middle class problem.
