>>I just hope that we are given the opportunity of a candidate who will get out there and really campaign vigorously, and articulate well.
What would their message be to the welfare class? They may be Takers, but they see it differently. They see themselves as some oppressed underclass who never got a break. Yeah, its all a lie fed to them by their Democrat masters, but that’s their perception and therefore their reality.
Even the ones who break out and get a job usually work for less than $10/hr as the people on our side tell them that labor is an expense and all profits need to go to the owner/shareholders. We tell the workers that it is our goal to make them work for the least amount of money that we can possibly pay and still get them to return to work tomorrow.
Meanwhile, on the Democrat Plantation, they are told that they have value as human beings just for existing and “here’s a check, an EBT card, free healthcare, a Pell Grant, and an Obamaphone to prove it.”
Our side tells them that they are an expense that cuts into the bottom line and the other side tells them that they are valuable just because they alive. How do we beat that message with just words?
we beat that message (for SOME, not all) of them, by
NOT adopting or acceding to the mis- charactizations of the communist left (about how workers are mere expenses to be minimized and thusly “are not valued,” etc.)...
The alternative also needs to be described clearly, namely a life on the dole which, while perhaps (a bit too ?) attractive in the short term, is neither sustainable nor conducive with having, making, living a real life of one’s own
All I am saying is that the R party should not adopt the slanted rhetoric of the extreme Left. Also, that it should clearly articulate the opportunities for better lives that its policies can offer people.
Otherwise, yes, America is indeed doomed, we certainly agree on that!
Yes, almost all business at best pays lip service to the value of labor. One reason is greed the other is knowing that labor will take obscene advantage of anyone who tries to meet them reasonably.
