Another 'Redistribution' Statement from Obama Surfaces<http://littlegreenfootballs.com/article/31723_Another_Redistribution_Statement_from_Obama_Surfaces#rss> Today, October 28, 2008, 4 hours ago http://littlegreenfootballs.com/article/31723_Another_Redistribution_Statement_from_Obama_Surfaces#rss<http://littlegreenfootballs.com/article/31723_Another_Redistribution_Statement_from_Obama_Surfaces#rss> He's doing everything he can to downplay and disavow it now, but Barack Obama has been talking about the redistribution of wealth for quite a long time; since the beginning of his political career, in fact. Ed Morrissey<http://hotair.com/archives/2008/10/28/redistribution-flashback-1996/>links to an article from the March-April 1996 issue of "New Ground," the official journal of the Chicago *Democratic Socialists of America*—who endorsed Obama: New Ground 45 - Chicago Democratic Socialists of America<http://www.chicagodsa.org/ngarchive/ng45.html> . One of the themes that has emerged in Barack Obama's campaign is "what does it take to create productive communities", not just consumptive communities. It is an issue that joins some of the best instincts of the conservatives with the better instincts of the left. He felt the state government has three constructive roles to play. The first is "human capital development". By this he meant public education, welfare reform, and a "workforce preparation strategy". Public education requires equality in funding. It's not that money is the only solution to public education's problems but it's a start toward a solution. The current proposals for welfare reform are intended to eliminate welfare but it's also true that the status quo is not tenable. *A true welfare system would provide for medical care, child care and job training. While Barack Obama did not use this term, it sounded very much like the "social wage" approach used by many social democratic labor parties.* By "workforce preparation strategy", Barack Obama simply meant a coordinated, purposeful program of job training instead of the ad hoc, fragmented approach used by the State of Illinois today. *The state government can also play a role in redistribution, the allocation of wages and jobs.* As Barack Obama noted, when someone gets paid $10 million to eliminate 4,000 jobs, the voters in his district know this is an issue of power not economics. The government can use as tools labor law reform, public works and contracts. *(F)AIR USE NOTICE: All original content and/or articles and graphics in this message are copyrighted, unless specifically noted otherwise.
