So, I randomly talk to local people here in Miami. This is easy since I am currently homeless. They all have a look of desperation, because of the sorry state of the U.S. post GWB. Now, many people (and especially the local Black people), seem extremely tense about discussing Obama and his road ahead.
I ask, "Do you think he can really clean up this huge mess the Bush administration left behind?"
The person looks doubtful, but says something like, "Oh, I think he will turn things around...but it will take time."
I say, "Well, I think Obama is going to be a complete failure."
The person usually looks perplexed. Because I am also a Black man, they look like I just slapped their closest relative.
Then I say, "I am so glad Obama won, and am so happy that a smart guy is now running the country; but Obama will probably fail because he will not actually do the one simple thing needed to save the U.S. No matter how smart, educated, or savvy Obama is; to be effective, Obama must actually accomplish one simple task. I believe this task is too tricky even for him, and instead of admitting an inability, Obama will do all kinds of academic and dramatic sleight-of-hand to avoid this task."
"Well," they ask, "what is that simple thing Obama won't actually do and therefore will ruin himself?"

"TAX THE WEALTHY PERMANENTLY AT A MUCH HIGHER RATE UNTIL THE ECONOMY CAN SUPPORT ITSELF, AND CONTINUE HIGHER TAXATION OF THE WEALTHY UNTIL DEFICIT SPENDING IS ELIMINATED AND THE NATIONAL DEBT BEGINS TO RECEDE!"
The wealthy have benefitted greatly since Reagan from a tax code which lowered their tax rates so low since the 1980's, that America has been deficit spending for 30 years for no good reason. Due to this favorable imbalance, 90% of US wealth is now concentrated in the hands of 10% of the US population. Guess what Obama, America has bills to pay, infrastructure to rebuild, and an economy to restart via capital infusion? The poor and working class have no credit left, no decent jobs, and no savings to shoulder this burden, that the rich want to shift on them yet again. Indecent, irresponsible politicians (mainly Republicans) are not in power now, so how will the newly elected, Messianic Democrats justify continuing the status quo. The only source of real money in the country is the wealthy. We have no industry that hasn't been looted to save us. Our financial flim-flam markets have finally been uncovered, and now people are starting to realize giving cash to strangers "to manage" means giving cash to strangers to steal. To save America, Obama must actualize "Full Faith and Credit" which means as a sovereign nation, the federal government has the right to take the wealth of it's citizens to pay it's bill if need be. That is what our promissory notes, promise China and the world everyday, as we continue to borrow like a shopaholic. That is what Obama will not do, and can not do, because he will never have that kind of power for real to redistribute US wealth. The rich control the legislative branch, the executive branch, and the media, ergo they control the President and his ability to get things done for real.
