“Economic Patriotism” – Obama’s new code word for “wealth redistribution”

It is a major tactic of the totalitarian to coin new words. As in Orwell’s 1984, the  function of the Ministry of Truth was to falsify public records, and then believe in the newly rewritten history as the truth.

This practice was dubbed “doublethink” by Orwell.

The liberals and progressives of today are masters of trying to foist doublespeak upon America. When they are proven to be criminal, tax cheats, and murderers, they accuse Mitt Romney of what they are provably guilty of, while he is provably innocent.

They call Gov. Romney in the first debate a liar, when in fact there are no lies in his words, but plenty in the President’s.

“Economic Patriotism” is the next big thing in liberal doublethink. If you look at it, you will find it similar to the exhortations of most totalitarian governments, who require such behavior of those they have enslaved. It becomes “patriotic” to pay more locally produced good than for foreign imports.

But why are foreign imports cheaper? There are many reasons, including currency manipulation of governments. That issue is a large topic deserving of serious examination. Another reason is a superior workforce created by educational systems that are focused on the result of creating talented human capital. That is also another issue deserving of serious examination.

However, a major reason for the higher cost of domestic production is because of above market wages compelled by a monopolistic labor union movement that places a stranglehold over the workplace.

As such, it is merely yet another disguise of wealth redistribution, from consumers to labor unions and their members.

You have to watch out whenever some new terminology is coined by the liberals and progressives, to see what it really means.
