Spreading the Wealth: How Obama is Robbing the Suburbs to Pay for the Cities

Spreading the Wealth by Stanley Kurtz

When Barack Obama told โ€œJoe the Plumberโ€ that he wanted to โ€œspread the wealth around,โ€ he wasnโ€™t just using a figure of speech.

Since the 2008 campaign, Stanley Kurtz has established himself as one of Barack Obamaโ€™s most effective and well-informed critics. He was the first to expose the extent of Obamaโ€™s ties to radicals such as Bill Ayers and ACORN.

Stanley Kurtz in his book Spreading the Wealth, show’s evidence that the Obama administration (which will be continued in a Biden Administration) talked about helping the middle class, but this talk is essentially a smoke screen. Behind the scenes, plans are under way for a serious push toward wealth redistribution, with the suburban middle classโ€”not the so-called one percentโ€”bearing the brunt of it.

Why havenโ€™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 spotยญlight. But the main reason, according to Kurtz, is that Obama doesnโ€™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 whatโ€™s really going on. Radicals from outside the administrationโ€”including key Obama allies from his early community organizing daysโ€”have been quietly influยญencing policy, in areas ranging from eduยญcation to stimulus spending. Their goal: to increase the influence of Americaโ€™s cities over their suburban neighbors so that evenยญtually suburban independence will vanish.

In the eyes of Obamaโ€™s former mentorsโ€”folยญlowers of leftist radical Saul Alinskyโ€”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 whatโ€™s to come: substantial redistribution of tax dollars. Over time, cities would effectively swallow up their surroundยญing municipalities, with merged school disยญtricts and forced redistribution of public spending killing the appeal of the suburbs. The result would be a profound transformaยญtion of American society.

In Spreading the Wealth, Stanley Kurtz shows the unbroken line of continuity from Obamaโ€™s community organizing roots to his presidency. And he reveals why his plan to undermine the suburbs means so much to him personally.

Kurtzโ€™s revelations are sure to be hotly disยญputed. But they are essential to helping votยญers make an informed choice about whether to reward the president with a second term.
