In waging this war on inequality, it makes no sense to do a grand bargain on entitlements. What would that solve? It would freeze the status quo in place. But the war on inequality can never rest, can never end. A century from now, liberal scholars will be mining the national income data to find another "wave of rising income inequality" while "more struggle to get by."
How can the president rest in his lifelong struggle, his quest for the Great White Whale of equality, while the tide of inequality continues to rise?
So it makes complete sense that President Obama and his Treasury Secretary Geithner have not proposed a "grand bargain" on entitlements. The president is not interested in doing a deal on entitlements. He just wants more money in taxes to spend on his war on inequality.It may be a humorous political cartoon, but this Branco cartoon over at Legal Insurrection does show Uncle Sam (meaning America as we know it) being pushed off the cliff via BHO's "fundamental transformation" by "taxing the rich," "no spending cuts," and "billions more in stimulus spending" [that didn't work out the last three times tried].
What does it mean when someone keeps doing what doesn't work despite all the evidence that shows it hasn't worked? It means that it's being done purposely!The American Thinker article is good and worth reading. It describes BHO's "war against inequality" and how such a war would never end until those suffering under "inequality" include all but the political elite. "Soft" Communism....anyone? Actually, we know what communism, taken to it's ultimate conclusion inevitably results in. Just look at the gruesome history.
I think that the very first comment under the article link at American Thinker reveals the ultimate truth of the matter:

We really can't understand this thing called egalitarianism or equality as the American Thinker author incorrectly labeled it unless we dig into the meaning and intent of envy.
Envy is the great leveler. As the envious person is miserable and unhappy envy desires that all of us must be equally miserable and unhappy. Or poor, sexually perverted, sadistic, beastly, etc.
Schadenfreude, the most secret as well as diabolical aspect of envy, is enjoyment at the suffering of the object of envy. Jerry Springer for instance, invites us to take pleasure in the self-inflicted degradations of his guests.
Part of Tolkien's genius was in portraying evil in a way that we could really see. Thus Sauron is the burning, sleepless eye of envy (Scripture is full of references to the eye of envy) unceasingly sweeping over his "egalitarian" communist hell-on-middle earth where everything is equally twisted, bent, deformed, sadistic,foul, and dead.
We simply cannot understand Karl Marx, Stalin, Alinsky, Obama et al apart from envy and Schadenfreude.
I think that you are on to something, Anonymous. Causing envy between people by stirring up hatred between black and white, male and female, rich and poor, liberal and conservative are methods utilized to separate, divide, and conquer people. Those who fell for Obama's shell-game (again!!) will one day realize that there isn't anything for them under any of the shells he is circling around!
No wonder that envy is one of the seven deadly sins!
Obama has been exposed over the past four years as a person who regularly utilizes all seven deadly sins in his wreaking havoc upon Americans and America:
Pride is excessive belief in one's own abilities, that interferes with the individual's recognition of the grace of God. It has been called the sin from which all others arise. Pride is also known as Vanity.
Envy is the desire for others' traits, status, abilities, or situation.
Gluttony is an inordinate desire to consume more than that which one requires.
Lust is an inordinate craving for the pleasures of the body.
Anger is manifested in the individual who spurns love and opts instead for fury. It is also known as Wrath.
Greed is the desire for material wealth or gain, ignoring the realm of the spiritual. It is also called Avarice or Covetousness.
Sloth is the avoidance of physical or spiritual work
I cannot recall a single instance where Obama has shown kindness towards those in whom he opposes. He has shown only hatred against them and generally attacks them on a regular basis.
