Great News! Canadian households are now wealthier than their American counterparts. Unemployment continues to be grim. The President is too busy campaigning to meet his jobs council. But he can take time to blather on endlessly about Bain Capital and to lecture American business that they didn’t earn what they’ve earned, someone else did, and they’re only as smart and hard-working as anyone else.
At this point even casual observers seem to be noticing that the Leader of the Free World is waging a campaign of shameless warfare on Romney’s success in an effort to vilify him. It’s an extension of the Occupy mentality: The 1% versus “the rest of us” ™. A few see this for what it is: Class Warfare based on envy and resentment, and a desire to punish the successful.
The problem for Obama and the progressives is that most Americans would like to be rich, including them(!). Even the dullest among us has thought about what they would do if they won the lottery or had a distant relative leave them millions, to say nothing of earning wealth through ideas, effort, etc.. And that is where class warfare in America hits a snag. Most Americans can imagine what it would be like to be wealthy in a country where the government is hostile to their wealth (excessive taxation) and encourages fellow citizens to attack them (Occupy).
This is pretty simple: Obama talks a good show and America has given him the benefit of the doubt. But he simply hasn’t delivered. From all appearances he is completely clueless as to what to do because in his heart and in his ideology he is uninterested in fixing, supporting or encouraging a capitalist free-enterprise supply-and-demand corporate economy. Romney is.
