Frank Luntz is advising his rich patrons to continue to kneecap the middle class with a slick new sloganeering strategy. Have Americans finally figured out the the "long con" of the Reagan Revolution?
Perhaps Luntz can be enticed to turn away from the dark side and the evil oligarchs, and use his marketing talents to help fight the factions and unite for the general welfare (instead of the other way around). However, since the big factions write the rules of the game to satisfy their persistent greed, I don't think Spinmeister General Luntz will change sides because he appears to like their cruel and lethal form of Monopoly.
This reminds me of the "Religious Freedom" that the ultra-religious want to impose on the rest of us such as imposing Christian Prayer in schools, the Right to Life, and other oxymorons
Off subject. Yesterday I was ID'ed when purchasing a beer with a slice of Pizza. I am 71 and I am ID'ed fairly often. It is not that I look under 21. It is the police state that we live in. Police arrest a 20 year old that happens to look 30 and give him a plea deal to go to restaurants and liquor stores and buy alcohol. They may send him or her to 30 different stores but when they succeed they bust the store. Penalties are extreme and a second offense is usually loss of license which will kill a business. Thus they check everybody's ID. I have worked and traveled all over the world and cannot remember being ID'ed or seeing someone ID'ed. I was once with 2 employees from Belgium. Both were in there 40's. After work we went to a bar in Chattanooga TN and they were denied service because all that they had was Belgium passports and drivers license's for ID. Why is this country so up tight about alcohol. The vast majority of countries are 18 for legal age. Many are 16. In the 20's we had prohibition. It is because we are a police state that likes to bust people for made up offenses. https://drinkingage.procon.org/minimum-legal-drinking-age-in-other-countries/
Economic freedom for the few, economic bondage for the rest.
A civilization built upon S&M.
The abused don't realize their own value.
We just need to work harder, demonstrate our obedience more clearly, and never question.
If we commit to this, surely our lords will reward us.
