Obama wants to redistribute local tax money from the 'burbs to cities
Burn Down the Suburbs?
Not exactly, but Obama is already working to get rid of them.

Section 8 is already an attempt to drive down a homeowner's hard earned investment by moving the inner city poor to live in nice neighborhoods. None of the poor have any concept of taking care of property, they will bring in crime, and drive people's property values into the ground.
An example would be almost any suburb in California.Originally Posted by G-AWZT
don't get me started with this shlt... My old town got flooded with section 8 housing thanks to banks signing up for it with repo'd homes. the police dept saw a more than doubling of the crime in less than 6 months and my station with from an average of 4 med calls a day to 9-12 calls a day... ALL of them total BS. mostly junkies looking for a morphione fix or people too lazy to drive to the hospital so they call us thinking that they'll get a priority to be seen in the damn ER pushing back people that acctually need it... grrr. i hate section 8 with a freakin passion.
Not for long, the poor will be everywhere, the way they’re putting the world into a crisis one cannot let go to waste.
As much as I despise suburbs and think they're a waste of resources, space, and counterintuitive to building communities, I feel that Obama's beef against suburbia is more about wealth distribution than efficient urban planning.
How exactly can the President, ANY President, force a commingling of state/local taxation or a reallocation of state/local taxation?
The President/Congress don't have the authority to earmark state/local taxation do they?
I could imagine policy as a disincentive.....like federal highway funds held back if states didn't increase drinking age from 18 to 21 as I heard they did a few decades a go.
But I'm a bit confused by this one in how President Obama could force a single penny of local McMansion property taxes being reallocated away from the Star Trek suburban high school to the crack house inner city high school.
Its Obama, look what he has done with the "Not DREAM" ACT and other presidential mandates that subvert congress and federalism
It would be worked through the groups he had/has close ties to........
Pfft...Maybe one of these days you'll open your eyes to the omni _____ that is Obama.
Like, immigration is a federal thing, like. El Presidente can like direct the pertinent secretary to, like, do things the way he likes it. You know. Like, "Hey, don't check on these people anymore!! They are my voters!!"
On the local level, where cities and counties are concerned, I am sure he can send some of his ACORN ninjars to run for city councils and re-distribute the wealth. You know. Recruit a dozen candidates for every city and county council in America. He can do that...theoretically...maybe...you know.
Exactly. I am sure his former Chief of Staff and now Mayor of Chicago, Rahm Emmanuel is already working on plans for the city of Chicago to move to incorporate unincorporated suburbs. Also, as surrounding cities suffer bankruptcy, look for Chicago to move in to 'save' them, which features hidden in the plans and agreements that enable Chicago to eventually incorporate them as well. I think this is exactly the template they will use.
