For Barack Obama, social re-engineering through government control of the commanding heights of America's economy (1970s British socialism) is apparently his presidential mission.
Income redistribution, pointed-finger harangues against "greedy capitalists", and demagoguery on the health care issue are part of his strategic design to incite class warfare and endear himself to the masses by making them forever dependent on his largesse (using our money of course).
Rising tax rates has been the traditional way to redistribute income -- it lowers after-tax income. Not content with that, the recent limit on executive pay for certain private companies is a ploy to redistribute by controlling pre-tax income.
President Obama cares more about his mission than he does economic prosperity. He cares more about changing how the pie is sliced than he cares about the size of the pie.
Alas, equal poverty is nobler than unequal prosperity.
Change.
