I'm livid about this. My employer and I PAID for this. Yup, I'm telling as many people as possible, and I want to see messaging from Dems

which the GQP will use to cut social security and blame the Dems.

Although if the rich paid their fair share of the taxes it would help lower the inflation issue.

They have theirs n we can’t get what we funded in faith? How does this affect their personal wealth? Crashing the economy seems cruel n unnecessary.

Fifteen second TV and radio ads don’t cost that much, and they work.

Point 1 and 2 above, in text, on a screen that looks like one of those cheap lawyer/used car/mattress ads (which work, by the way) is all we need. Again and again and again. Especially in the red zones where some of the rare, vaunted, “undecided” and “independent” voters live.

Please. No more fancy Democratic Party consultant stuff. Simple. Honest. Clear. Frightening. And lots of it. That’s what could get us over the line.
