Ask the right question.

[DearAbby]

Just ask a Romney nut, What's in it for me? Why should I vote for Romney's enhancement to wealth over my own?

It's not class warfare, but negotiations for a piece of the pie...ask the right question, in the terms every 1% er knows...What's in it for me?

I said that yesterday to a Romney nut, What's in it for me?

He promptly pulled up JFK's famous speech.

I responded: Why should I be selfless in the face of obvious selfishness? What's in it for me? The wealthy can be selfish, sit on trillions of dollars and have the nads to ask for more...What's in it for me? Why in the hell should I vote for Romney's tax cut and my own tax increase? What's in it for me?

1. I'm sorry; but ...

we know what the romney supporter would want to say, but most lack the courage to say, is: "What's in it for you? A white man as president!"

2. Great place to post a Scuba quote from the other day.

The poor must be given less and less or they'll lose their incentive to work.

The wealthy must be given more and more or they'll lose their incentive to work.

3. But ...

"The wealth disparity between the groups PROVES ... proves ... I tell you that the wealthy and the poor have different motivations, values and needs!"

4. I had asked them that too.

Exactly when does money stop being an incentive?

Also equated trickle down, like hosing down the house next to the one on fire, maybe some water will splash on it.
