The conservative Republican commentator opines: "One part of the answer to this puzzle is the changing demographics of the country. The United States today is a nation that is much less white, much
less married, and less traditional than it once was. These are growing
trends and each reflects in at least some large part constituencies with
values supportive of Obama’s world view - activist government and moral
relativism. What was once the exception to the rule in America – not being white,
not being married, not having traditional views on family, sex, and
abortion – is now becoming the rule. And these constituencies are
becoming sufficiently large to elect a president."
More: "According to data compiled by the Tax Foundation, the large majority
of those now filing tax returns in the U.S. are single. In 1960, 65
percent of all tax filers were married and 35 percent single. In 2010
it’s reversed - 61 percent of filers were single and 39 percent married. When Barack Obama pushes for taxing the rich, he’s not just pitting
those with the highest incomes against everyone else. He’s pitting
married against singles. Eight of ten tax filers in the top twenty
percent of earners are married. The majority of middle income and below
filers are single. It’s really a cultural divide, one you can be sure that Barack Obama is very aware of, that is keeping his bubble inflated."
