Like most people of his ideological bent, Obama either cannot or will not distinguish between society — which is created through peaceful commerce and other forms of private cooperation — and the state — an anti-social artifact built on conquest, coercion, and confiscation of wealth. Government produces nothing; it is an exercise in pure consumption and … the destruction of capital …

Barack Obama — whose brow has never been moistened by the sweat of honest labor — knows literally nothing about creating wealth and value. As a politician, however, Obama is deeply committed to "community organizing" – that is, the creation of government-focused coalitions devoted to the forcible redistribution of the wealth that is created through the exertions of private producers.
