VOTE TO TAX ME NOT THE RICH T-shirt

.VOTE TO
..TAX ME
....NOT
THE RICH
This is the next T-shirt I'm gonna have made up to help get our message out what we're trying to accomplish
for this country. It's a reverse physiology thing and would be a conversation starter with others about what's
fair in regard to taxes. What would happen to the midterm elections if every Democrat had one of these
T-shirts and wore it every time they go out in public? QublicOns would see it so often they might actually
give some thought about not voting a straight ticket to look after their pocketbook. Is it possible to start
a go-fund-me page just to buy T-shirts for Democrats who can't afford one? Shirt could use some $$$$$$$
signs, suggestions welcome.

But I think this might be too convoluted for it to work in our favor.

Remember our audience on the right is very simple in what they react to.

I’ll be curious to see what others have to say on it.

Simple messages are better, especially when the QOP are landing some pretty harsh punches so far.

Messaging is very critical….

I believe it's a very simple message for simple minded QublicOns. First one that mentions my new T-shirt,
I'll tell 'em I have lots of extra money laying around I don't need (don't you?) while the rich have lots of
expensive play toys & overseas vacations to pay for and blah blah blah...
Hopefully someone here will have a better response.

The idiots will think they are being very funny and smart-aleky.....until someone asks them "Wha?"

Sarcasm is hard to convey on a Tee Shirt...so although I get it and think it's a riot...I'd never wear one.

4. Maybe just Tax me, not the rich

I don’t think you need the “vote to”.

Or tax the workers, not the rich

Or tax workers, not billionaires

My thoughts anyway…

I love your "tax workers, not billionaires" believe that would get the point across better than my
original brain fart I had this morning while thinking about messaging. Thank you.

And your post wasn’t a brain fart. An idea, once expressed, can be revised or refined or whatever, but that process can’t start without, well, someone starting it. 😺
