Talking points?

[redhotpoker]

Do we need to adopt talking point of our own to counter our enemies talking points?

Here are example of talking point in action;

Conservative guy: "It's impossible in a capitalist system for the rich to get richer and the poor to get poorer.

What you desire is a Marxist state where the rich are made poor and everyone lives in poverty except for the bureaucratic Central Planners."

.....
"Your wealth envy and class warfare rhetoric doesn't play well, and has never worked anywhere it's been tried, Comrade.

You're a Marxist. Hey, they only killed 120 million people last century. Who wouldn't want more of that?"

Chick:"It's impossible in a capitalist system for the rich to get richer and the poor to get poorer."
Are you f*cking kidding me? Look around you, Charlie Sheen."

Conservative guy: "If the restaurant owner gets wealthier, the waitress gets wealthier as well, but just not at the same rate as the owner.

If the restaurant owner goes out of business, the waitress does not get wealthier, but poorer as well."

Chick: "You really have no idea what waitresses make, do you. They make less than minimum wage per hour and rely on tips, not the largess of their employer.
Look around you. The rich are getting richer, thanks to your elected officials and the poor (and middle class) are getting screwed. Sorry. Your explanation does not hold water."

Conservative guy: "in a capitalist system, it is impossible for the poor to get poorer by the rich getting richer.

The poor only can possibly get poorer if the rich get poorer.

This is basic economics."
