Give me an example of a message or platform that can defeat the notion of "more free shit if you vote for us" as is being put forth by all the Dimz and a significant part of the GOP.
Former GOP Senator Phil Graham said it best, several years ago. (Paraphrasing) "there is coming a day when there will be more people in the wagon than there are those willing to or able to pull it."
Works on the assumption that there is a wagon.
I'm perfectly happy to work. I've been working since I was 16 and I'm nearly 59 now.
I happen to think that single payer health care is better than one I get through a job where the insurance company has no obligation to me.
That's hardly "Free shit", it's a choice.
You might think public education or retirement programs are "Free shit", I consider them an investment.
What's your alternative to Medicare and Social Security, the two biggest "Free Shit" programs out there? Young people bankrupting themselves to take care of their elderly parents?
