UK's Telegraph: Barack Obama's rich supporters fear his tax plans show he's a class warrior
Wealthy Wall Street financiers and other business figures provided crucial support for Mr Obama during the election, backing him over the Republican candidate John McCain as the right leader to rescue the collapsing US economy."You get the government that you deserve." Unfortunately, these morons gave Obama to all of us. Command economies don't work, if your goal is a rising standard of living for all people. Under the worker's paradise Obama is leading us to, the ruling class enjoys the paradise and the rest of us get to work to support the rulers. A sufficiently cynical writer would call it serfdom.But it is now dawning on many among them that Mr Obama was serious about his campaign trail promises to bring root and branch reform to corporate America - and that they were more than just election rhetoric.
A really cynical writer would call it slavery.
