The Fiscal Cliff Is a Lie

28. We lose....

when we continue to allow them to define the narrative.

It is important that the Democratic lawmakers do not wobble at this point, all this talk of grand bargains is nothing by chicanery perpetrated by political sore losers. They are trying to cut benefits (they only know one tune and that is privitization) and refuse to raise taxes on the weatlhiest at a time when people are most vulnerable due to a slowly recovering economy.

The absolute truth about the 2012 election of President Obama is that it was a clear choice, America has spoken, there is little need to rehash these debates.

Start making the historical argument that tax rates have been much much higher in times of crisis, i.e., in 1942 the effective tax rate on people making 200K and up per year was 88 percent and guess what the rich didn't disappear, they didn't die off, they paid their fair share and many continued to gain even more weatlh.

Demand the weathly pay a fair share.
