Obama has big plans for everyone in the middle classes - lower, middle,
and upper. It starts with wedding the middle class inextricably to
government, making them to some significant degree dependent upon
government for their sustenance. After that, no resistance will be
possible, and Obama's vision of government 'solutions' to every
perceived problem or injustice will truly be possible. This is the route to leftist control of government for a generation or more.
Forget about banning talk radio. After Obama starts
showering new thousands in tax "credits" on families who currently pay
no taxes, but are otherwise independent people, they will do what
everyone does - adjust their budgets accordingly. If they are reaping
the $5000+ that Obama is targeting at those on the lower end of the
working income range, it will be a hard thing to refuse him when he
insists that "if Republicans win, they will take away your tax
credits." Suddenly the credits are covering the entire food budget, or
half the rent, and you can't live without it. You're dependent, and
unless you have more spine than most people who find themselves in that
predicament, you're likely to continue to draw the checks than to
demand your independence. This widespread dependency on the part of
hard working people has no precedent in American history, and it will
likely be a permanent change - once people build this money into their
budgets, it will be hard to remove it, even if it is demonstrably true
that making working people dependent on government over the long haul
hurts rather than helps them.
With dependency comes control (look it up) and ultimately
bitterness: first self reproach, then self justification, then
entitlement, then finally hatred for the hand that feeds you.
With a smile, Obama offers the middle class a leash.
