When the Republicans say, "NO", the Democrats should yell back, "NO WAY".
You are not getting the White House back and you are not turning this nation into a complete corporate state in which the Constitution is a thing of the past. The Republican creed of "less government" is in truth one of "corporate government". Their covert destructive policies need to be publically exposed again and again until even their Brown Shirt Tea Party minions can understand that this party is fundamentally dangerous to the future of this nation.

3. The" seductive part of their plan is the one more familiar to the public -- constantly talk about
what the people want to hear. No more taxes. Defend the country. Go Conservatives. Minimal government."

4. How exactly do you defend the country without taxes?
Fairy dust? Volunteers? That's hardly 'seductive'. It's stupid. And THAT is what needs to be pointed out. And 'minimal government' is code for 'let the corporations do whatever the hell they want to the individual American, even if it kills him'.

6. No taxes
No roads, bridges, rail, schools, police, fire departments. No infrastructure for companies = no economy.

Look at Colorado Springs a city who citizens refuse to raise taxes...they will be a 3rd world city before too long.

More than a third of the streetlights in Colorado Springs will go dark Monday

My partner and I don't have kids but in the most recent election on the East Side near Seattle the election was around raising taxes to support the schools in the area. We gladly approved the tax because a better educated citizen is one that can participate fully and knowledgeably in this experiment we call Democracy.

5. it's hard to do this when the president is soliciting their ideas and putting bipartisanship
ahead of good policy.
