....that they honestly believe everyone else is as well to the point where they just ASSUME old people will go along with eliminating Social Security if it doesn't effect current recipients. They tell the old folks they will get theirs and act confused as to why those same old people care if young people will be able to retire some day. They do their sales pitch and their logic seems perfect to them so they figure it's GOT to be the presentation.

Now if they can just get someone in Central Casting to give them a proper spokes-model.

They tried a cowboy and a business guy,...maybe they'll try a cop next.
