The bumper sticker assumes a level of intelligence when reading it, that the person reading it would understand it was satire. Changing the wording would remove the anger from the reader.

I agree. “Honk If You’re Paying My Mortgage” is much better because it is more provocative, it neatly captures the Obama-style in-your-face arrogance of the liberal fascists, and if anyone reading it is dumb enough to think a liberal would really put that on their own car . . . well, they probably would honk.

I'm with you guys.

It's a funny parody of the arrogance of the left, rubbing your face in their shitty "win".

The other way around just comes across as whiney.

Wouldn't the more effectlve message be "Honk If I'M Paying YOUR Mortgage"?

No, because then all the other drivers would feel great, because they are getting something for nothing.

"Everyone should go there and buy 10 of the Who is John Galt stickers and start putting them everywhere"

Sadly, the product of today's public schools would have no idea who John Galt is, nor what this reference means.

Which is no doubt one of the reasons the liberals put so much of their lives into gaining control of the schools.
