People are wondering what does Barack Obama stand for; well wonder no more. Senator Barack Obama has made it clear, he is a social liberal, who stands for as he stated “a fair economy.”This statement alone should tell the observant voter exactly who this man is; he is a society first politician, who believes that the foundation is the group rather than the individual. His policies reflect this with a focus on government base medical care and a bottom up economic policy. He seeks to take from the rich to aid the poor under the name of doing it for the greater good.

The fallacy in Obama’s stance is the fact his foundation is nothing more than an abstract concept. How does one achieve fairness in his eyes? By removing something from those deemed “more fortunate.” In theory this is fair, yet in practicality it is decisively unfair, unless one considers using the police force of the state to take away from an individual fair. Also, this sense of fairness requires the government to define one’s success and failure.

Let’s move onto the bottom up economy. An economy is based on production and investment, those at the bottom may be doing both, but it is a level which is nearly insignificant. These people are not capable of driving or growing an economy. Following this theory normally leads again to the forced taking and giving dictated by the government.

Lastly, there is no greater good. The explanation for this stance requires much more than a few hundred words on a blog, so I will leave it with this. The town exists because of the individuals who live in it. Take away the people and there is no town, however, John and Mary are still John and Mary. In this world there are only individuals, everything is built around the individual, therefore the only good must focus on the individual good. Striving for anything else will lead one down an unachievable road and consequently frustration.

Barack Obama is clear as to his ideals, it just so happens they could not be more wrong.
