From Forbes: Talking Points for the Class War...[i.e. how to make the bad stuff of GOP policy sound good to people who only watch one news source with any regularity]
Herein, I provide a service to the right-wing dogmatists and those who’d like to understand them by reproducing the top 10 talking points for preserving the status quo.
- Whenever anyone brings up distributional issues, accuse them of class warfare.
- Never acknowledge the existence of “the rich.” They are “job creators.”
- Tax cuts for the working poor are “budget busters.”
- Tax cuts for job creators are “incentives.” See also “competitiveness.”
- Deficits caused by new spending are harbingers of the apocalypse.
- Deficits caused by tax incentives are signs of enlightened public policy.
- Everyone can succeed in America by working hard.
- Oppose an adequate minimum wage because it kills jobs.
- Oppose tax credits that help minimum wage earners escape poverty, such as the earned income tax credit (EITC), because they let millions of lower-income Americans escape income tax liability.
- Support tax incentives that let job creators escape income tax liability.
