On Tuesday, Stanley Kurtz's new book will be published. Titled: Spreading the Wealth: How Obama is Robbing the Suburbs to Pay for the Cities. Here is the Google description:
When Barack Obama
told “Joe the Plumber” that he wanted to “spread the wealth around,” he wasn’t
just using a figure of speech.
Since the 2008
campaign, Stanley Kurtz has established himself as one of Barack Obama’s most
effective and well-informed critics. He was the first to expose the extent of
Obama’s ties to radicals such as Bill Ayers and ACORN.
Now Kurtz reveals new evidence that the
administration’s talk about helping the middle class is essentially a smoke
screen. Behind the scenes, plans are under way for a serious push toward wealth
redistribution, with the suburban middle class—not the so-called one percent—bearing
the brunt of it.
Why haven’t we heard more about policies that
will lead to redistribution? In part, of course, because controversies over
Obamacare, unemployment, and the exploding budget deficit have taken the media
spotlight. But the main reason, according to Kurtz, is that Obama doesn’t want
to tip his hand about his second term. He knows that his plans will alienate
the moderate swing voters who hold the key to his reelection.
Drawing on
previously overlooked sources, Kurtz cuts through that smoke screen to reveal
what’s really going on. Radicals from outside the administration—including key
Obama allies from his early community organizing days—have been quietly
influencing policy, in areas ranging from education to stimulus spending.
Their goal: to increase the influence of America’s cities over their suburban
neighbors so that eventually suburban independence will vanish.
In the eyes of
Obama’s former mentors—followers of leftist radical Saul Alinsky—suburbs are
breeding grounds for bigotry and greed. The classic American dream of a
suburban house and high quality, locally controlled schools strikes them as
selfishness, a waste of resources that should be redirected to the urban poor.
The regulatory
groundwork laid so far is just a prelude to what’s to come: substantial
redistribution of tax dollars. Over time, cities would effectively swallow up
their surrounding municipalities, with merged school districts and forced
redistribution of public spending killing the appeal of the suburbs. The result
would be a profound transformation of American society.
Kurtz shows the
unbroken line of continuity from Obama’s community organizing roots to his
presidency. And he reveals why his plan to undermine the suburbs means so much
to him personally.
When the Obama Team, inevitably, claims that Kurtz is lying, remember that they did the same thing in 2008 about Obama's proven membership in the Socialist New Party (He became a member on 11 January 1996...signed a pledge and paid dues).
