Today's Washington Post has an article by Charles Krauthammer stating what he believes is President Obama's ultimate agenda. According to Mr. Krauthammer, President Obama has four basic goals--he wants to change the relationship between our government and us so that the government will shrink the income gap (and any anxiety gap) between the rich and poor, He also wants to nationalize health care and change our education system so that everyone gets a free education through college. His final goal is to fund all of this with a carbon tax (by passing cap and trade).
President Obama is not particularly interested in the United States Constitution and what it says. There is nothing in the Constitution that guarantees health care, controls wages, or taxes carbon, but this does not seem to be a problem for the Obama Administration. We need a President who will take all restraints off the free market and let people live according to the results of their own labor (or lack of it). We cannot expect the government to handle all of our challenges from cradle to grave, although they seem to be trying to. The private sector has always done a better job of taking care of everyone without letting everyone take advantage. The government needs to get out of the peoples' way and let the economy thrive.
