President Obama is a Classic Marxist

We continually hear that he is not a socialist. Conservatives are ridiculed by those on the Left for declaring the truth, that Barack Obama is a Marxist, so let's look at his agenda as he has laid it out.
Universal Healthcare
He proposes universal healthcare. He tells us that he want a system which offers the American people a choice; they can keep the coverage they already have, or they can opt in to the federal system that congress enjoys. The fact is this is a Hobson's choice.
Corporate management is not stupid, if they see that they can save millions on healthcare benefits by dumping their private coverage and letting their employees get their coverage from the government, they will. As those small and large corporations begin to do this, the pool of privately insured citizens will shrink, and as that pool shrinks the costs to each member rises.
Remember that private insurance pools work because of the economies of scale and because the probabilities built into a large population make the risks of financial loss tolerable. As that population shrinks, those associated risks rise and thus the insurance companies are forced to raise their rates.
As those rates rise, more and more people will be forced, for economic reasons, to opt into the government system thus further shrinking the pool of available privately insured and the cycle continues. The end result is inevitable; a single payer-European style-rationed healthcare system.
America will end up with the vast majority of our citizens beingvictimized covered by a government run healthcare system and a very small minority of very wealthy elite citizens (the ruling class and their select anointed ones) who will continue to enjoy the benefits of private healthcare.
The Redistribution of Wealth
President Obama has already said he favors the redistribution of wealth. He stood face to face with "Joe the Plumber" and said…"when you spread the wealth around it's good for everybody." This is classic Marxism:
He then will “cut taxes for 95% of American workers.” Note that number, 95%. Almost half of those to whom President Obama is planning to give tax breaks pay no income taxes to the federal government…thanks to former President George W. Bush…so what President Obama is really saying is that he plans to take money, in the form of taxes, from the wealthiest 5% of Americans and redistribute that money to those making less, in the form of “tax cuts,” by giving them what amounts to a welfare check.
Ah, but that redistribution doesn’t last very long. What Obama's government gives with the right hand, it takes back with the left. Those 95% of Americans to whom he is claiming to give tax cuts to will have all of that taken away when he ends the tax-cuts put in place by President Bush. So next year their taxes will go up, not down.
Then, while they are recovering from the shock of paying higher income taxes after being promised that they would pay less, he will put the double whammy on them by adding the carbon tax to every gallon of gasoline, every cubic foot of natural gas, and every product manufactured, transported or grown using a petroleum product they buy…which means everything. The price of everything will go up to pay the carbon tax.
Education Reform
In furtherance of that "state provides all" frame of thought, President Obama's proposals for education reform create a new entitlement for college education. A new right is created, the “right to a college education.” This has now been amended to include the “right to attend a trade school.”
College education has always been an option. It is not a right, but an opportunity; a privilege for those who can afford to avail themselves of it. What happened to the right to work at a job, save you money, and once you have saved enough paying for your own training?
For those who possess the intellectual capacity for college education, nothing prevents them from working their way through college the same way the generations before have. The enactment of a college education entitlement would only further dependence upon the government and undermine the understanding that getting what one wants requires individual effort and responsibility. If a student wants a college or university education badly enough he will find a means of paying for it...without the government’s assistance.
The truth is college is not for everyone. The reason America has historically chosen to provide a twelve year education rather than a sixteen year education is that a large percentage of people are not suited to pursuing the levels of learning one receives in a college. Today one in four high school students drop out before graduating. Clearly those students are not suited for college level course work. Just as clearly those whose grades fall below average are likely unsuited for college work.
How is it to the advantage of the American tax-payer to pay for the tuition of someone’s child who has a better than 50% probability of dropping out before graduation. That’s right President Obama is asking all American tax payers to pay for the folly of sending millions of youths to college, one third of whom will drop out after or during their first year, and ultimately half of whom will not graduate.
This college entitlement is nothing more than a full employment act for the Ivory Tower Elite at our universities with whom President Obama likes to rub elbows; a gift from a former associate. With Professorships being handed out to individuals like Bill Ayers (of the Weatherman Terrorist group fame) and Ward Churchill (of fake Native American heritage and plagiarism fame) college in many cases has ceased to be an institution for higher learning and more of a source for indoctrination of students by teachers filling their “minds filled with mush” with Boilerplate Marxist dogma (as have many of our high schools).
As I said...He's a Marxist. He believes that government, not private enterprise holds the solution to all of our problems. He believes in the redistribution of wealth and thus he does not believe in the sanctity of the inherent right to own private property.
Long Live Our American Republic!!!!

The Redistribution of Wealth
President Obama has already said he favors the redistribution of wealth. He stood face to face with "Joe the Plumber" and said…"when you spread the wealth around it's good for everybody." This is classic Marxism:
"From each according to his abilities, to each according to his needs."There's no ambiguity here. Obama has already made his intent clear with his new budget which raises the taxes on those who earn in excess of $250,000/year. However, not only does his budget raise the marginal rates on these individuals and small businesses, but it also eliminates or reduces the two most important deductions available to them, the deduction for mortgage payments and the deduction for charitable contributions. Of course Obama's view, as reflected in his own charitable giving is "Who needs charities when you have the government to take care of people?" Once again a Marxist concept, the state provides all.
He then will “cut taxes for 95% of American workers.” Note that number, 95%. Almost half of those to whom President Obama is planning to give tax breaks pay no income taxes to the federal government…thanks to former President George W. Bush…so what President Obama is really saying is that he plans to take money, in the form of taxes, from the wealthiest 5% of Americans and redistribute that money to those making less, in the form of “tax cuts,” by giving them what amounts to a welfare check.

I think Webster Tarpley is correct as an historian looking at Bush and now, Barack.
The goal is a One World agenda driven by the Karl's Manifesto's and Saul Alinsky's rules for radicals of which Barack needs no teleprompter to review.
He is only a fresh face for the same finance capital sorts.
WELCOME BACK CARTER!
Obama is a Constitution-ignoring socialist puppet who lets his misguided socialist mentors do his thinking for him.
