Rahm Emanuel cynically said, "You never want a crisis to go to waste." It is now becoming clear that the crisis he was referring to is Barack Obama's presidency.
Obama is no fool. He is not incompetent. To the contrary, he is brilliant. He knows exactly what he's doing. He is purposely overwhelming the U.S. economy to create systemic failure, economic crisis and social chaos -- thereby destroying capitalism and our country from within.
Obama is following the plan of Cloward & Piven, two professors at Columbia University. They outlined a plan to socialize America by overwhelming the system with government spending and entitlement demands. Add up the clues below. Taken individually they're alarming. Taken as a whole, it is a brilliant, Machiavellian game plan to turn the United States into a socialist/Marxist state with a permanent majority that desperately needs government for survival ... and can be counted on to always vote for bigger government. Why not? They have no responsibility to pay for it.
-- Universal health care. The health care bill had very little to do with health care. It had everything to do with unionizing millions of hospital and health care workers, as well as adding 15,000 to 20,000 new IRS agents (who will join government employee unions). Obama doesn't care that giving free health care to 30 million Americans will add trillions to the national debt. What he does care about is that it cements the dependence of those 30 million voters to Democrats and big government. Who but a socialist revolutionary would pass this reckless spending bill in the middle of a depression?
-- Cap and trade. Like health care legislation having nothing to do with health care, cap and trade has nothing to do with global warming. It has everything to do with redistribution of income, government control of the economy and a criminal payoff to Obama's biggest contributors. Those powerful and wealthy unions and contributors (like GE, which owns NBC, MSNBC and CNBC) can then be counted on to support everything Obama wants. They will kick-back hundreds of millions of dollars in contributions to Obama and the Democratic Party to keep them in power. The bonus is that all the new taxes on Americans with bigger cars, bigger homes and businesses helps Obama "spread the wealth around."
-- Make Puerto Rico a state. Why? Who's asking for a 51st state? Who's asking for millions of new welfare recipients and government entitlement addicts in the middle of a depression? Certainly not American taxpayers. But this has been Obama's plan all along. His goal is to add two new Democrat senators, five Democrat congressman and a million loyal Democratic voters who are dependent on big government.
-- Legalize 12 million illegal immigrants. Just giving these 12 million potential new citizens free health care alone could overwhelm the system and bankrupt America. But it adds 12 million reliable new Democrat voters who can be counted on to support big government. Add another few trillion dollars in welfare, aid to dependent children, food stamps, free medical, education, tax credits for the poor, and eventually Social Security.
-- Stimulus and bailouts. Where did all that money go? It went to Democrat contributors, organizations (ACORN), and unions -- including billions of dollars to save or create jobs of government employees across the country. It went to save GM and Chrysler so that their employees could keep paying union dues. It went to AIG so that Goldman Sachs could be bailed out (after giving Obama almost $1 million in contributions). A staggering $125 billion went to teachers (thereby protecting their union dues). All those public employees will vote loyally Democrat to protect their bloated salaries and pensions that are bankrupting America. The country goes broke, future generations face a bleak future, but Obama, the Democrat Party, government, and the unions grow more powerful. The ends justify the means.
-- Raise taxes on small business owners, high-income earners, and job creators. Put the entire burden on only the top 20 percent of taxpayers, redistribute the income, punish success, and reward those who did nothing to deserve it (except vote for Obama). Reagan wanted to dramatically cut taxes in order to starve the government. Obama wants to dramatically raise taxes to starve his political opposition.
With the acts outlined above, Obama and his regime have created a vast and rapidly expanding constituency of voters dependent on big government; a vast privileged class of public employees who work for big government; and a government dedicated to destroying capitalism and installing themselves as socialist rulers by overwhelming the system.
Add it up and you've got the perfect Marxist scheme.

"The danger to America is not Barack Obama but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the Presidency. It will be far easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to a depraved electorate willing to have such a man for their president. The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Obama, who is a mere symptom of what ails America. Blaming the prince of the fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince. The Republic can survive a Barack Obama, who is, after all, merely a fool. It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools such as those who made him their president." __Unknown

Note on Puerto Rico

In original post on this thread there was mention of Puerto Rico...and how statehood would add to our welfare roles.
-From what I know of puerto Rico, I believe that it is already a drain on our welfare resources, ...but might be LESS so if PR became a state.
-I believe Puerto Ricans are already citizens of teh U.S. and already get Social Security and medicare because they pay payroll taxes, i.e., medicare and SS taxes. So that will nnot be an extra drain.
-However, they do not pay income taxes, yet they do receive U.S. funds for medicaid, welfare programs, etc. That is already a drain on U.S. taxpayers. If however, they elect statehood, then they would have to pay income taxes, thereby contributio to their own welfare programs, and thus actually become LESS of a drain on U.S. taxpayers.
-So in my mind there is no real incentive for Puerto Ricans to vote for statehood. They get almost all the social welfare benefits other Americans do, ...but they don't have to pay income taxes. Talk about win-win.
-In the past the Puerto Ricans have voted against becoming a state, ..mostly for the income tax reasons. Thus some dem leaders of this present movement in congress have offered a plan to have our congress vote to accept then into statehood without the PRs actually haveing to vote for it themselves, ... thus allowing teh dems in congress to avoiding being turned down again.

I spent a weeks vactation in San Juan last October. At the time there were 'protests' because the Governor had just laid off about 17% of the guvment payroll due to inabillity to pay the bills for the 'state'. I spent one day on a 'tour' with a local guy and we talked politics all day. At that time more than 25% of the island worked for the state, and unemployment was in the high teens within the private sector. NOBODY there, besides politicians, seemed to want statehood. Why would they? They have ALL the benifits but none of the liabillities (taxes). ANY benifit you are getting here, can be transferred there. The local pols see statehood as their salvation. Our national pols want it for the demcratic voting base and a whole slew of new dems in office to help push the messiahs agenda. The mail there is deliverd by the USPS. Federal buildings are some of the nicest on the island. You don't need a passport or even a Visa to go there and if you have a nationwide plan your cell phone won't even roam!!
It is a beautiful island. I loved every minute of my time there. I learned a LOT about the people and the island. It is the only place on earth that I know of that you can go from tropical beach, to desert, to a magnificent rain forest all before lunch.
