Incidentally, this is what I just posted on another thread:
In hanging tough, House Conservatives need to reiterate a combination of talking points; never let themselves be interviewed without starting by clarifying their position against Obama's Class-Warfare attitude on Taxation:
1. Class-Warfare is immoral & unamerican.
2. A tax system that punishes success to reward failure is economically insane.
3. The Founding Fathers considered the use of taxation to redistribute wealth to be totally unacceptable (Art. I, Sec. 9). Having sworn to uphold the Constitution, one cannot vote for redistribution of wealth.
4. During the 124 years, from 1789 til 1913, when we followed the Founder's Taxing policy, we had the greatest material growth rate of any people on earth--and we retained our spiritual values in the process. Nothing, proportionately, or adjusted for inflation, has since compared! (And just look at what the class-warfare mentality has done to our spiritual values!)
Do not let anyone put Obama's definitions into anyone on our side's mouth. Obama has never been about "fairness," anymore than Lenin, Trotsky, Stalin, Hitler or Castro were ever about "fairness."

Then tell the upper classes to stop waging war on the bottom classes by depriving them of the wages they've earned but not received as seen in the ever widening productivity/wage gap.

Are you not paying attention to all the taxpayer funded rewards upper class failure has been getting the past few years?

Good, then stop supporting the redistribution of america's wealth to wall street.

You mean the spiritual values that allowed the enslaving of other human beings? The spiritual values that treated women as not even worthy to vote? Not all spiritual values are worth keeping.
