Nope. Those tax hikes may have cost us 2-3 seats.

But you will NEVER win a national race on tax cuts.

If you can’t explain to Millenials why tax cuts improve the rest of their lives in NON-economic terms, you have lost them.

Look at a little marketing research. It’s overwhelming. It dominates all advertising now.

It seems obvious the first task of Pelosi and Schumer in the new Congress will be trying to goad POTUS into more tax increases. I’m starting to get a lot of 1992 flashbacks. A LOT.

Precisely why I said it wasn't the only reason, but rather, "a" reason.

"But you will NEVER win a national race on tax cuts alone, or as a primary factor."

Tax cuts are irresponsible without spending cuts FIRST. Also, if you have to "emotionally" connect with a voter then our country is finished anyway. Marketing is for selling goods and services to provide value to a firm in order to make a monetary profit and most importantly, to make the shareholders happy (In the case of Party politics, to secure perverted power in this day and age and make the apparatus happy).

Responsible government on the other hand is based on neutrality, as the Constitution was designed to prevent the Federal government of becoming a positive entity that would prey upon the Natural Rights of the individual and the family unit. You must think instead of being a slave to emotions (But I get what needs to be done to secure perverted power).

BTW, why don't you tell your Republican cronies to come up with a marketing experience (Look up the term)that deals with the fact that the Federal Reserve owns over 45% of government securities (Which they had to buy en mass after 2008 and beyond) to service are debt which requires them to start liquidating their 10-years right now to the tune of around $3 Trillion. That is just for starters. Perhaps if that is explained adequately, people will begin to reject Big Government, because rates will go sky high and perhaps the US credit rating will be downgraded near junk status because we don't have $3 trillion to the margin calls that will be demanded.
