Cult of Sacrifice

Barack Obama has been saying that sacrifices are needed in the time of our economic troubles.

I don't see much sacrifice by those advocating higher government spending; by those pursuing a costly and deadly creeping nationalization of our health care system; by those seeking to impose draconian costs on power producers, companies, and all consumers in the pursuit of a radical environmental agenda; or by labor unions who want to pass card check legislation to make it much easier for them to coerce employees into unionizing an employer.

Instead, Obama's calls for sacrifice entail: the imposition of higher taxes on individuals and companies and the multiple burdens that Obama's reforms will produce.

Obama is seeking to make people feel guilty for their success, to weaken their resolve in opposing his plans to take their money to give it to him to spend as he wishes.
