Obama begins by shilling the hollow recovery.
Keep on whining for the rest of your life. Your ideology will never be popular.
Your ideology should have been stamped out in 1945, but the fights at the local level for $15 and a union and the end of the decline in unionization rates show that democratic socialism is not only alive, but on the cusp of victory.
Unionization doesn't mean socialism. People support small businesses. People support low prices through free trade. People support entrepreneurship. They don't support handouts for nothing. Agree or not on welfare, that's the truth on what many people think.
You can argue about how taxing the rich to death will stop income inequality (failed in France), but the fact remains that won't help move the middle class/poor move upwards. It begins and ends with education, and collectivization and socialism won't do anything to make people happier if they can't move up the ladder. Education is the key, and it will continue to be until the day the government actually tries to do something to make it better.
