Our culture & society in this country, the Free Stuff generation —— is so far different and removed from the country we knew 32 years ago from Carter vs Reagan that any thought of correlating what happen then to what should happen now because of past trends should be careful. There is more who live off the government from all walks of life than the simple welfare queens of old. This ‘give me’ way of thinking is the new norm in this country. Treating Obama as a nice guy in over his head, rather than a smart leftist who knows exactly what he’s doing, leaves the Democrats’ bogus narrative about government unanswered. America is changing, and Republicans are naive to rely on the public to simply recognize the problems in the Democrats’ claims without significant help from our nominee in going after the man and his marxist ideology
One reason I really think we need to push the flat tax argument. Number one, there’s no moral justification for saying some income should be charged at a higher rate, if your income is already above the poverty line. The “gimme, gimme, gimme” society usually responds with saying the rich should be taxed to pay for their bennies. We need to say that we believe in equality, so everyone should pay the same tax rate. So if they want to tax the rich at 75%, everyone else has to pay the 75% rate too.
