   “Nor do we talk about off-the-books labor, where millions earn money without reporting either income or sales receipts — and often while on state subsidies.”

   Welcome to “Mexifornia!”

   Obama’s attempt at class warfare is a classic example of critical theory as opposed to critical thinking. My conclusion after some research is that critical theory in a nutshell basically tries to tell you, instead of what is right, tells you what is wrong so you will therefore conclude everything is wrong so it must therefore be changed. It is classical Cultural Marxism. It seeks to separate you from your supposed Materialism in favor of the collective. They have convinced themselves they are “freeing” you from your enslavement. It’s a collusion of philosophy and social sciences in order to social engineer. In my opinion, pretty crazy shit because it always ends badly, usually with murder and genocide, something the progenitors never seem to learn which is why we see it rearing its head over and over again since King Nimrod. These so-called German philosophers and social-theorists from the Frankfurt School are anything but unique in their failed theories, behaviors, and thinking. Neither is Obama. If anything he is decayed and typical.

   Here is an overview:

   http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/critical-theory/

   “It follows from Horkheimer’s definition that a critical theory is adequate only if it meets three criteria: it must be explanatory, practical, and normative, all at the same time. That is, it must explain what is wrong with current social reality, identify the actors to change it, and provide both clear norms for criticism and achievable practical goals for social transformation.”
