Okay, citizens, we need to think.
Republicans have, it must be admitted, outclassed Democrats for years when it comes to selling ideas.
Romney is confronted with the fact he pays only 15% income tax when the average nurse or police officer pays 20%.
"I will not apologize for being successful," he says.
That's a sure fire applause line. Who would want a fellow citizen to apologize for his own, hard won success?
A lot of politics is about saying outrageous things and making them sound reasonable and correct.
So how do we point out the problems with this line?
"It's not your success in making money you should apologize for...it's your unwillingness to allow others to have a chance to be successful."
No, you haven' t shown how his success prevents others from achieving success.
How about, "You mean, you don't have to apologize for bribing the referees?"
That's closer.
Or maybe, "So you refuse to tax billionaires, and you refuse to apologize for that?"
Or, "So, if the game is rigged, the losers are guilty of envy?"
Or, "So, if the casino has rigged the games, the losers are guilty of envy, if they complain?"
I don't know. We need to work on this.
Other things which need to be answered:
The estate tax is the death tax.
Regulations are the government's way of torpedoing our economy. If it weren't for the government, the economy would be going gang busters.
What we need is a Don Draper of our own. We need a bunch of Democrats sitting around a table at a nightclub, a drinking bourbon, thinking up a good ad campaign.
I open the floor to the public. Let me hear from you.
We need some help here in New Hampshire.
