Obama’s SOTU Address Calls for Middle-Class Revival, But Poverty & Inequality Still Get Short Shrift

Every political party depends on its base to drive it to victory at the polls. This is where Mr. Obama has truly failed. He has totally ignored the liberal base — indeed, actually maligned us.

Mr. Obama has broken promises to the workers and the poor. In 2008, he promised to raise the minimum wage to $9.50 by 2011; it has stagnated at $7.25. His administration has strayed further and further from labor unions, a mainstay for virtually every Democratic political victory at the polls. The unions did not receive support for legislation that would have created a fair environment for unions to organize corporate workers. Mr. Obama has done nothing to stop the surge of outsourcing of Americans' jobs. He has not fought to remove tax schemes that reward corporations for firing Americans.

And let us not forget Mr. Obama's behavior before his national health care bill was passed. Mr. Obama met in secret with health insurance lobbyists and, as a consequence, failed to support a government-run program similar to Medicare.

Mr. Obama's narrow focus on protecting corporations, rather than protecting the 99 percent, was highlighted again when he failed to veto a phony credit card "reform" bill. He signed a bill that did not contain a cap on the interest rates that credit card companies charge, resulting in Americans paying 30 percent interest or more on their monthly bills.

On Feb. 17, Mr. Obama visited Boeing headquarters and proposed cutting taxes for large and very profitable corporations. U.S. corporations, on average, pay 10 percent in taxes; thanks to tax-avoidance strategies, the official 35 percent rate is phony. U.S. corporations pay less than half what their foreign contemporaries pay.

Obama genuflects before Big Business

His fiscal cliff deal contains big corporate tax breaks

It was his chance to get rid of off-shore tax advantages and other corporate welfare. So, why did he insist they be part of the Jan. 1 financial rescue?
