She coined a great talking point for the Dems this week, IF THEY WERE INTERESTED IN TALKING POINTS. We know they're not, but that's another story. Anyway, she said the Republicans want you to pay taxes and not receive anything in return.
She's right. They want to shift the tax burden to the middle class and poor and exempt the extremely rich. They want the middle class and poor to pay for everything. Then they want to cut all the programs that benefit the people who are paying the bill.
Really simple and easy to understand. Wish some Dem would actually say it.

I said it would be a good talking point in terms that average people can understand.

| 4. A more succinct phrase I have heard Randi used is this: |
|
The Rich want to Privatize the Gains and Socialize the Losses.
We pay for the Rich's mistakes, but we are not allowed to a share of their winnings.
GE made 14 Billion dollars last year and paid not one fucking dime in taxes.
Where's their sacrifice?
