BALTIMORE, Maryland May 1, 2015 - There is evidence - some of it starting to amass - that the unrest in various urban settings around these United States, while not being actually planned by the Obama Administration, are in fact being immediately seized upon and even 'nurtured' to a similar conclusion by Obama functionaries as part of Obama's plans to push his version of socialist or marxist 'income equality' throughout these United States.
If 'income equality,' which many see, plainly, as a code word for pure Marxism, becomes a policy of the Administration - if it isn't already - then the days that the United States exists as a nation which rewards success and achievement, in an atmosphere of freedom and liberty, are over.
While 'income equality' sounds good as a rallying cry to poor and unsuccessful people, it is a policy that has uniformly failed every single time it has been tried. The Iron Curtain nations in the orbit of the former Soviet Union were all Marxist, requiring that people were paid what they 'needed' rather than what they had earned, and they all failed miserably within 50 years of their founding. Cuba is another Marxist country, and its people live in abject poverty and overt repression. The national government of Cuba blames the United States ban on trading for its longstanding societal and economic problems, but virtually every other nation on Earth does trade with Cuba, but it hasn't mattered to the economic status of this Marxist regime, which is far poorer than every other Carribean Country, despite the fact that it has natural resources and other advantages not enjoyed by other island countries.
President Obama said this week that what he has seen is that the minute that civil unrest ends in an urban part of America the poor that live there fall out of the national attention and focus, and their plight loses its appeal as a national priority. But there is ample evidence that Obama is completely wrong. Figures available in Maryland, for instance, indicate that under the administration of Martin O'Malley, the far left Democrat who recently completed the maximum of two terms as Maryland's Governor, Baltimore and its school children were the beneficiary of tens of millions of dollars of state aide, not to mention federal assistance and direct Baltimore City assistance. Over $15,000.00 is currently spent on each and every Baltimore child enrolled in its public schools. There are also other federal and state programs that directly benefit Baltimore residents. Despite this almost record-setting amount of tax-payer assistance, the poverty rate in Maryland under O'Malley actually increased. Maryland is one of the highest taxed states in these United States, and state officials are left to combat large numbers of residents leaving the state to avoid these strangling taxes. Interstate 83, which runs out of central Pennsylvania, then through central Maryland before ending in the middle of Baltimore City, is choked each work day with Pennsylvania residents commuting to their jobs in Baltimore. Retirees are also moving out in an effort to hold on to the money they have saved during a life of labor. If they can afford it, many move to Florida. Others move across the state line to Delaware and Pennsylvania. Despite these facts and despite these trends, the Democratically-controlled Maryland Legislature actually tried to again raise taxes at this year's session, and newly-elected Republican Governor Hogan saw his initiative to end the infamous "Rain" Tax fail miserably. Hogan defeated O'Malley's Lieutenant Governor, Antony Brown, a Vietnam Veteran, even though the number of registered Democrats in Maryland far out-numbers the number of registered Republicans, and the percentage of registered Democrats is among the highest in these United States.
All across these United States the voters turned out to send a clear message to elected officials that they wanted no more of President Obama's far left policies. Their message to end these policies and stop their implementation fell on deaf ears. Obama has doubled down on his determined effort to end the tradition of liberty and freedom in these United States, and replacing it with an oligarchy of elite ultra far left Democrats hell bent on getting a vice grip on political power and holding on to it forever, despite what the voters say.
