Think of all the hot-button words the other side always falls back on. “Socialism!” “Communism!” And more.

And start applying them directly “for the rich.”

“Socialism for the rich.”

“Freebies for the rich.” Also “MORE freebies for the rich.” And “Gimme’s for the rich.”

And my own personal favorite complaint: “Comforting the already-comfortable.”
