You “don’t see it that way” and then describe it as that way.
You don’t need Medicare or Medicaid to expand medical jobs—in fact, they cause fewer medical jobs.
Anything “free” in terms of education is at the taxpayers’ expense. Unions will get into the tech sector if they have fewer teachers to sign up. Putting teachers out of a job is good?
Believing in “luck” is quite anti-Christian, too.
The point is showing Republicans are on the side of the little guy is both smart policy - and good politics.
People perceive conservatives as folks who fight for bailouts for big banks and oil companies and who cynically support the worst corporate welfare - taxpayer subsidies for people who don’t need them.
That’s hurt the GOP brand. And in a country with changing demographics, you’re not gonna win an election if you come across looking as mean and scowling. It doesn’t hurt conservatives to appear warm and caring and show they have ideas to help Middle Americans.
Obama wants the government to run their lives. Republicans want to help them to run their lives. That’s the difference between the liberal and conservative view of the human condition.
Believing in luck is anti-Christian, too
So what do you want to call it? The will of God working in unexpected ways?
Another fringe benefit is it puts sneaky Portman out of the picture, hopefully. Kasich is much more of an average guy, much more in touch with the problems real people face. Is he perfect? Far from it. But his campaign did not nod to elitist Chamber of Commerce type interests to win. He ran as a job creator who wants to bring manufacturing back, improve lives, and stay in touch with his rather humble background.
