From Florida to Virginia on across the country, in every battleground state, they are the key demographic. All of which raises a question that has not been considered as yet, and ought to be: is President Obama’s re-election in the suburbanites’ interest? The answer emphatically is no. As many Americans do not know, in the eyes of the community organizers who trained Obama, suburbs are instruments of bigotry and greed — a way of selfishly refusing to share tax money with the urban poor. Obama adopted this view early on, and he has never wavered from this ideological commitment, as a review of his actions in office goes to show. President Obama’s plans for a second-term include an initiative to systematically redistribute the wealth of America’s suburbs to the cities. It’s a transformative idea, and deserves to be fully aired before the election. But like a lot of his major progressive policy innovations, Obama has advanced this one stealthily–mostly through rule-making, appointment, and vague directives. Obama has worked on this project in collaboration with Mike Kruglik, one of his original community organizing mentors. Kruglik’s new group, Building One America, advocates “regional tax-base sharing,” a practice by which suburban tax money is directly redistributed to nearby cities and less-well-off “inner-ring” suburbs. The group also favors a raft of policies designed to coerce people out of their cars and force suburbanites (with their tax money) back into densely packed cities. Obama has lent the full weight of his White House to the Group's efforts. A federal program called the Sustainable Communities Initiative, for example, has salted planning commissions across the country with “regional equity” and “smart growth” as goals. These are, of course, code words. “Regional equity” means that, by their mere existence, suburbs cheat the people who live in cities. It means, “Let’s spread the suburbs’ wealth around” – i.e., take from the suburbanites to give to the urban poor.  In other words, quit building sub-divisions and malls, and move back to where mass transit can shuttle you between your apartment in an urban tower and your downtown job. In all likelihood, these planning commissions will issue “recommendations” which Obama would quickly turn into requirements for further federal aid. In fact, his administration has already used these tactics to impose federal education requirements on reluctant states. Indeed, part of Obama’s assault on the suburbs is his effort to undercut the autonomy of suburban school districts. America's tradition of local self-rule, the incentive to better your circumstances, and therefore national prosperity all will have been eroded.  The real goal of Building One America is to abolish America's suburbs.  At present, however, state laws discourage the involuntary annexation of suburbs by nearby cities.  So, the current strategy is an informal abolition of America's suburban landscape, the achievement of which requires three key changes: First, a no-growth boundary line is to be drawn around each metropolitan area, forbidding the purchase of land for uses other than farming.  Check with suburban developers you may know to see if it's becoming easier or harder to obtain land to develop for single family homes. Second, America will commit itself to forced economic integration.  Government will try to systematically manage where people live by income level, to discourage people of similar incomes from settling in concentrated numbers in the same areas.  New regulations will force builders to include a quota of low-income housing units in any new development. Third, America's metropolitan regions will undertake a regime of tax sharing to reduce "fiscal disparities" among different local governments.  In other words, even in the absence of formal annexation, suburban tax money will be transferred to cities and lower-income inner-ring suburbs. Google "regionalization" and beware.  The goal of regionalists is to grant metropolitan planning boards the power to override the decisions of local suburban governments.  The objective is to take the suburbs, now the swing constituency in national elections, and divide them against themselves.  Obama wants to create a political alliance between cities and older inner-ring suburbs, in effect urging these constituencies to gang up on the bulk of the suburbs in state legislatures to impose regional tax sharing plans on a reluctant middle class.  As all this emerges, it will grow increasingly evident that Obama's signature policies of health care reform, the stimulus, and other regulatory changes have in significant part been designed to advance a large-scale redistribution of wealth from America's suburbs to its cities.  If this disturbs you, the best way to prevent it is to learn about it now, before it's too late to take action in the voting booth.  If you think it's not happening, the following illustrates what has already happened in suburban Westchester County, NY. A Case Study in Westchester County, New York In Westchester County, NY a local civil rights group sued the county claiming the county fell short of "affirmatively furthering" federal fair housing goals when applying for a government grant.  Not wanting to risk losing its federal funding, and believing it would get a reasonable settlement from the Obama Administration, Democrat-run Westchester invited the feds to intervene and craft a compromise.  Bad mistake.  Obama's officials used the opening to draw up a convoluted settlement designed to force "economic integration" on this suburb. The initial Obama Administration settlement required the building of extensive subsidized housing units spread throughout municipalities across the county.  This amounted to social engineering and a financial shakedown.  Sensing an opportunity to impose its ambitious regionalist agenda on a timid Democratic-controlled county board, Obama's department of Housing and Urban Development intervened to expand the government's demands. Now the Obama Administration insisted on gutting Westchester's zoning power - a prime regionalist goal.  Regionalists have long seen ending a suburb's power to control its own zoning as the way to force "economic integration" on unwilling municipalities.  Obama's HUD then insisted that Westchester pass "source income" legislation.  HUD would now force private landlords to accept public housing tenants, a very direct path to "economic integration." Then the Obama Administration handed over control of Westchester's housing to an attorney in partnership with a local university, removing local officials from control of their own government's zoning policies indefinitely.  Ron Sims, deputy HUD secretary said of the new agreement:  "We're clearly messaging other jurisdictions across the country that there has been a significant change in the Department of Housing and Urban Development." Then in October 2011, HUD Assistant Secretary John Trasvina pointedly noted that the Administration was "actively investigating"  about twenty communities nationwide for Westchester-like treatment. The Obama Administration is clearly promising a major ramp-up of coercive regionalist engineering in a second term.
