The r's have been spoon fed all of this bullshit for decades. We're just now seeing the endgame results of all of their work over those years. We, the Democrats, haven't had very many of these decades long plans pounded into our heads. Our problem is that we rely on the rationality of people to see through the bullshit that has been at the forefront of political discourse. We think that everyone thinks at the same level we view topics and this has been our downfall. The r's have been convincing everyone on the face of the earth that they would be millionaires if they didn't have to pay taxes to support "big government". Meanwhile, we continue to think along the margins and try to appeal to the sensibilities of the populace. How can you begin to compare the idea that, even though you make $5/hr, you would be a millionaire with lower taxes to the proposition that taxes need to be raised? We're playing chess to their running a soup kitchen. People understand that which has a direct impact on their lives, meanwhile talk to our platitudes of equality.
