After listening to portions of the Teleprompter in Chief's SOTU address it is apparent that his fundamental transformation plans include pitting people against each and making envy into a virtue. As we saw with Slick Willie on the issue of true meaning of Lewinsky's the President can have an influence on the culture for good or ill. In the case of the current POTUS he clearly wants to foment class envy and hatred of the productive in society.

In prior years I would anticipate that Americans would find the idea of class envy as repugnant since there has never been in the entire history of mankind a country that promotes movement between the classes more than the U.S. But today I am not sure given the number of people that now rely on some form of federal government largesse. When we lose the admiration of successful people and want to "level the playing field" by using the tax code we are a lost nation.
