Sometimes I believe you have to throw liberalism in the face of liberals to get the result you want.
Republicans should advocate for a living wage. Make it an absurd amount like $50 an hour.
All the Republicans would have to say is “you liberals think forcing employers to pay $8 an hour is good for the economy, then why not $50? why not $75 why not $100?
And then have a national debate on it.
People will then come to realize that a living wage or minimum wage doesn’t work.
Employers who support the Democratic Party would be then forced to confront their hypocrisy. Force socialists to deal with their socialism.
I think absurdity and irony are effective tools that could be employed to defeat liberalism.
People may think I am nuts for thinking this way, but so long as liberals are spending other people’s money and not feeling the effects of their own stupidity, nothing will change.
That is the only approach that has a chance of getting through to the nonthinkers of the left. Tell them what the hell, if it really works let’s have a thousand dollar an hour minimum. Most will immediately respond that that is ridiculous, then you ask them what is ridiculous about it, they cannot respond without arguing against the basic concept of a minimum.
I use the same method against the fools who argue that we can balance the budget simply by raising taxes. If it works so well why don’t we levy a one hundred percent tax on all income above a hundred thousand a year.? They cannot argue against it without destroying their original position.
