MY SAY: THE TAPES OF OBAMA, THE AGENDA AND STANLEY KURTZ’S BOOK
Did you all catch this phrase in Obama tape?
“We don’t need to build more highways out in the suburbs. We should be investing in minority-owned business, in our neighborhoods”?
In his new book “Spreading the Wealth- How Obama is Robbing the Suburbs to Pay for the Cities” Kurtz cogently argues, again with meticulous research and detail, that “regionalism” a redistributive agenda which would meld suburbs including their schools, utilities and essential services and taxes into cities, is already in place ready for implementation in a second Obama administration.
This is not a new idea and has its roots in the community organizers who trained our President with the argument that rich and essentially white people fled to the suburbs leaving the inner cities to struggle with blight, crime ,poverty, homelessness and poor and failing schools.
To correct this, it was argued, required a major redistribution and “equalization’ of wealth.
The suburbs, leafy retreats from asphalt and congestion, have been depicted in movies and books as stultifying, middle class, prejudiced, boring and ” bourgeois.” For community organizers they represented what Kurtz calls “a defect in American structure.”
