Most of the right wing positions hit on the fairness concept. Why do you have to work while someone else gets to live on welfare? Why should Affirmative Action allow the hiring of a less qualified individual over someone who also had to work hard?

Somehow, Dems need to position the fairness argument better than they have been.
