Also Known As Set-Theoretic Social-Engineering
Image via WikipediaDuring a recent guest lecture at NC State University, Michael Boskin was asked by an obaminoid in the audience why "tax cuts for the rich" is not disparaged as "social engineering". Professor Boskin replied in words to the effect that common usage for "social engineering" implies a specific policy designed to alter the natural outcome of general policy. I am not sure how the questioner received the professor's reply, but my guess is he wasn't happy with it.
You see, gentle reader, "tax cuts for the rich" is a fraudulent battle cry in The Obama's strategy for class warfare. It is an arbitrary rhetorical demarcation in the union of all people, into the so-called "rich" and everyone else. In so doing, a general policy of tax-cuts for everyone, including people who don't pay taxes (for whom a "cut" becomes a "dole"), can be enumerated as tax-cuts for the rich together with tax-cuts for everyone else.
It should be obvious to everyone, even the perpetually perplexed, that such an enumeration of arbitrary elements in a union of all people constitutes a rhetorical ploy for charlatans like The Obama and his leftist army of muckrakers. These reprobates, who prey on the ignoramuses whose votes they own, could just as easily have defined "tax cuts for white Anglo-Saxon Protestants" if they wanted to tailor their target to suit their battle du jour.
