1. SUPER-KICK . . . Let's do this!!!! . . . NOW!!!
for years, the right has been yammering on about "tax-and-spend liberals", to the point that it's become almost one word . . . they've driven it home again and again and again until it's ingrained in our psyches . . . I, for one, have always thought that we should fight ire with ire and come up with a nice, pithy phrase that captures the essence of the right . . . "cheap labor conservative" is about the best I've heard, speaking as it does to working Americans (which is just about all of us) . . . I agree with this guy . . . we should start using this phrase, and keep using it, until it almost becomes one word . . . most importantly, our candidates should all start using it, and now . . .

CHEAP LABOR CONSERVATIVES . . . I love it!!! . . . :)

tell your friends, tell your candidates, use it in your letters to the editor . . . here's something that ALL liberals, progressives, and moderates can understand and get behind . . . LET'S DO IT!!!

DUers, please keep this kicked, and post the article everywhere . . . this can work, and work well! . . .

4. GREAT buzz phrase - GREAT concept.
A mantra is born - AND a drumbeat. This sounds great and cuts right to the heart. Let's keep it alive - AND kicking!

5. Wealth distributes what labor produces
This site really has alot of great stuff in it.

"But what is "wealth", really? What is the tangible value of that picture of Benjamin Franklin in your pocket? What is "stock", "equity", "debt". Hell, what are property rights? Here's the answer conservatives. Refute it if you can. "Wealth" is nothing more than a set of abstract ideas that organize distribution of what labor produces. Labor is the thing that is real.

Everything used by the person with symbols of wealth is produced by a wage earner The tools and equipment he uses are produced by a wage earner. The buildings are produced by wage earners. The roads that lead to your house, your office, or your factory are produced by "wage earners". Wealthy investors who call themselves "producers" make me laugh."

7. Cheap Labor Conservatives. . .this person used some brainpower
to come up with this slogan. It's really effective. I am going to be working as a volunteer on my local dem senatorial campaign and I will definitely pass this concept on.

I'll also be using it to call out the idiots on the other boards I frequent.
