President Obama's goal is to create a two-class society: the poor and the super-rich. Decades of liberals - and even a few supposed "Republicans" - have helped push America toward this goal, and President Obama hopes to finish their work. Why?

Meanwhile, it keeps everyone else hooked on the government like a drug that's impossible to quit.
