Down With High Density Living In Norman,Oklahoma! ******************************************* Thumbs down Obama trying to destroy the suburbs via regionalism Many times, taxpayers vote with their feet and move to the suburbs to avoid the onerous taxes of the city. Community Organizers like Obama realize this, and attempt to syphon money back to the urban area via "regionalism" and "shared taxes", as is currently practiced in Minneapolis-St. Paul, Minnesota. The entire effort is simply to syphon money from the taxpayers in the suburbs, back to the city to be redistributed. The article below, while a National Review article, articulates the issue fairly well, and provides evidence of the Alinskyite players who routinely visit the White House to push this idea. All of politics, is a game of redistribution. nationalreview/articl...ley-kurtz?pg=1 President Obama is not a fan of America’s suburbs. Indeed, he intends to abolish them. With suburban voters set to be the swing constituency of the 2012 election, the administration’s plans for this segment of the electorate deserve scrutiny. Obama is a longtime supporter of “regionalism,” the idea that the suburbs should be folded into the cities, merging schools, housing, transportation, and above all taxation. To this end, the president has already put programs in place designed to push the country toward a sweeping social transformation in a possible second term. The goal: income equalization via a massive redistribution of suburban tax money to the cities. Obama’s plans to undercut the political and economic independence of America’s suburbs reach back decades. The community organizers who trained him in the mid-1980s blamed the plight of cities on taxpayer “flight” to suburbia. Beginning in the mid-1990s, Obama’s mentors at the Gamaliel Foundation (a community-organizing network Obama helped found) formally dedicated their efforts to the budding fight against suburban “sprawl.” From his positions on the boards of a couple of left-leaning Chicago foundations, Obama channeled substantial financial support to these efforts. On entering politics, he served as a dedicated ally of his mentors’ anti-suburban activism.
